Chinese killer robots sold to Middle East
will leave 'every human dead'
Fears that
'fully autonomous' military drones sold by China to Middle East countries could
have dire results with the machines able to decide on who lives and dies
China is
selling its most advanced “fully autonomous” military drones with fears that it
could lead to a bloodbath in the Middle East.
The Asian superpower is reportedly
selling AI-enhanced combat drones to the region, with potentially disastrous
consequences.
Prof Toby Walsh, of the University of
NSW, in Australia, said: “They would be impossible to defend yourself against.
“Once the shooting starts, every human
on the battlefield will be dead.”
US Defence Sec Mark Esper has said
that China is selling drones programmed to decide themselves who lives or dies.
He told a conference on Artificial
Intelligence: “As we speak, the Chinese government is already exporting some of
its most advanced military aerial drones to the Middle East as it prepares to
export its next generation stealth UAVs when those come online.
“In addition, Chinese weapons
manufacturers are selling drones advertised as capable of full autonomy including
the ability to conduct lethal, targeted strikes.”
An Australian outlet, news.com.au,
reports that a state controlled Chinese defence company is negotiating the sale
of its Blowfish A3 armed helicopter drone to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Dr Malcolm Davis, an Australian
Strategic Policy Institute analyst says that it is not strange there is no
debate over the sales in China.
He reportedly said: “This isn’t a
surprise.“Authoritarian adversaries do not need to conduct the same
domestic debate on lethal autonomous weapons as western liberal democracies,
because they are not answerable to their people.“There is no ‘ban killer robots’
movement in China or Russia. The regimes are simply developing and deploying
the weapons – and in this case - exporting them to similar regimes in the
Middle East.”
The US military though are planning an
ethics code for Artificial Intelligence use.
Western countries are planning to tackle
the “killer robots” with unmanned systems which humans can override.
Dr Davis said: “While we will ensure our
unmanned systems have humans ‘on the loop’ with political oversight into use,
it is quite possible that our adversaries will equip with fully autonomous
lethal systems.
“That could give them an advantage in a
future war.”
World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 · A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling. “You barely feel that the patient is 3,000 kilometers away,” he said.
Visualizing The Power Of The World's Supercomputers BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 04:15 AM A supercomputer is a machine that is built to handle billions, if not trillions of calculations at once. Each supercomputer is actually made up of many individual computers (known as nodes) that work together in parallel. A common metric for measuring the performance of these machines is flops , or floating point operations per second . In this visualization, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu uses November 2021 data from TOP500 to visualize the computing power of the world’s top five supercomputers. For added context, a number of modern consumer devices were included in the comparison. Ranking by Teraflops Because supercomputers can achieve over one quadrillion flops, and consumer devices are much less powerful, we’ve used teraflops as our comparison metric. 1 teraflop = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) flops. Supercomputer Fugaku was completed in March 202
BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke
