Over 1,000 high-profile artificial intelligence experts and leading researchers have signed an open letter warning of a “military artificial intelligence arms race” and calling for a ban on “offensive autonomous weapons”.
The letter, presented at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was signed by Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis and professor Stephen Hawking along with 1,000 AI and robotics researchers.
The letter states: “AI technology has reached a point where the deployment of [autonomous weapons] is – practically if not legally – feasible within years, not decades, and the stakes are high: autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms.”

Yeah right, like the money involved in the military-industrial complex will ever let this happen.
"Hello senator, I have thousands of brilliant and respected scientists who signed this document promising that if we continue on this path we're going to put the entire existence of the human race in very real danger within a matter of years."
Senator: "Rightttt, but see this guy for Lockheed Martin just gave $20 million dollars for my reelection campaign....so I'm on his side. Unless you have $25 million??"

Some people are such tools. Same individuals that will invest their entire life savings into a furniture store because someone saw Warren Buffet buying a sofa there.

CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (Listeni/'sti?v?n 'h??k??/; born 8 January 1942) is an British theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge.[16][17] His scientific works include a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set forth a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He is a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.[18][19]
He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009 and has achieved commercial success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; his book A Brief History of Time stayed on the British Sunday Times best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.

If you outlaw military weaponized artificial intelligence then only outlaws will have military weaponized artificial intelligence.
