Review "This book is a succinct, well-reasoned, detailed and provocative voice in one of the most important conversations of our time. It should be read by anyone with an interest in the moral and social implications of AI."--Donald C. Wunsch II, PhD, Mary K. Finley Missouri Distinguished Professor of Computer Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology; Director, Applied Computational Intelligence Laboratory, Missouri University of Science and Technology"Science fiction-fed fears of killer robots waking up and taking over the world prevent us from facing this basic fact: Bad guys have a say in what the world is like. A decision not to develop AI for defense is a choice to allow our most vicious enemies to develop superior weaponry to threaten and kill the innocent. It also means our weapons will be more rather than less likely to harm and kill non-combatants. In this vitally important book, Robert Marks makes a lucid and compelling case that we have a moral obligation to develop lethal AI. He also reminds us that moral questions apply, not to the tools that we use to protect ourself, but to how we use them when war becomes a necessity." --Jay Richards, PhD, Research Assistant Professor, Busch School of Business, The Catholic University of America; author, The Human Advantage: The Future of American Work in an Age of Smart Machines Details ISBN1936599775 Pages 64 Publisher Discovery Institute Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 1936599775 ISBN-13 9781936599776 Format Paperback Publication Date 2020-01-06 Imprint Discovery Institute Subtitle Why Americas Military Needs to Continue Development of Lethal AI Author Robert J.
