Stephen Hawking & Elon Musk Warn Of Killer Robots
28 July 2015, 12:00 am

                    Killer robots might seem like a plot point from a summer blockbuster, but some of today's leading minds are warning that weapons powered entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) could be here in the very near future. Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, Tesla cofounder Elon Musk, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak and more than 1,000 others have signed a letter warning of the threat posed by autonomous weapons.

I'm absolutely sure that "letter" will halt any development!!
(seems they're still beating that drum).

This robot is going to kill all the people that teased me in school.

The title is misleading as usual. They are now addressing specifically current developments in autonomous weapons. e.g. automated stationary machine guns that kill on sight. Not terminators. While I don't support their wilder claims, this seems as reasonable to me as the past banning of landmines.
