    Is this the news story that will be pushed to show how useful and effective these robots are after they start strapping guns to them, letting some AI tell them who to shoot? That’s what it feels like.

      Hello friend. It looks like you made a disparaging comment about our surveillance capabilities and ongoing efforts to introduce AI killer robots. Please report to your nearest police station where one of our members will escort you to our re-education camp.

      Thank you Killer robot team.

      AI might be an improvement over the humans who open fire on guys armed with nothing but a sandwich.

      Ah, who am I kidding, of course machine learning is just racism laundering. The image recognition software will use police data to train and therefore will do the same racist murders, just with hyper accurate gun shots.

        Even before the latest surge in AI capabilities image recognition was already better than human at distinguishing between gun and non-gun. I think it’ll be a net positive. I’m looking forward to the humanoid police robots that can just run up to someone and grab their gun away, ignoring being shot at in the process.

      Search AI pushing news stories written by AI about AI autonomous weaponry telling us we’ll be safe.

      At no point did it talk about arming the robot, let alone any use of AI. Your concerns are valid, just not for this specific story.

        I don’t feel like you are parsing that comment correctly.

        Will this feel-good story about a robot dog be used later to make us all a bit more accepting of all the dystopian shit that we know is coming with police robots?

        Well maybe not, but I have to agree with the “that’s what it feels like” assessment.
