I’m all for drones. We just need to figure out how to not get hacked...but anything can be hacked. They can deepfake orders if they have the technology to hack a military drone. I think people are just worried that they’ll get caught. I doubt they’d start shooting people who are just taking drugs, for example, but that’s everyone’s greatest (irrational/unfounded) fear.
“How else are drones changing warfare?
“Experts worry that the proliferation of UAVs could make bloody conflicts more common, because countries that are reluctant to start a war and risk their soldiers' lives won't hesitate to send in drones. ‘For states that seek to break long-standing geopolitical deadlocks, the rise of relatively cheap, disposable, armed drones offers a tempting opportunity,’ says Jason Lyall, an expert in military technology at Dartmouth College. Others fear a rise in autonomous drones that don't need a human controller. The United Nations recently reported that a 15-pound Turkish-built quadcopter independently targeted and launched a suicide attack on retreating rebel forces in Libya. If anyone died in that March 2020 strike, said security consultant Zachary Kallenborn, it would be the ‘first known case of artificial intelligence–based autonomous weapons being used to kill.’”
