Should the IET seek its members to pledge not to help build killer robots?

I read an interesting article in the online E&T (above) that reports of a pledge to not assist in the development of so-called Killer Robots. Should the IET take a stance, be the first PEI to endorse the pledge and furthermore expect/encourage its members to sign up too?

  • Yes, but I would expect that decision, to abort or take another action, to be within the policy, rules, dependencies that the device operates according to, having already been set by the author not the device. Completely autonomous decision-making (no human origination or intervention) is where my unease rests.
