Killer Robots Aren’t Regulated. Yet.

July 25, 2020

Artificial intelligence is making it easier to kill you. Think it sounds like science fiction? A.I.-fueled weapons are already here. There are tanks that drive themselves, armed drones that pick their own targets and a machine gun that hunts targets with object recognition software. 

Through original animation, graphics and on the ground reporting in Russia, Switzerland and the United States, we bring you inside the race for autonomous weapons and ask: Should life and death decisions in war be based on algorithms?

The debate surrounding the use of A.I. to kill is complicated. Some argue A.I. can save lives and make war more precise.

Others argue that giving machines too much power opens a Pandora's box of dangerous possibilities.

Killing in the Age of Algorithms is an in depth exploration of the future of A.I. and warfare. The film examines the dual-use nature of technology and reveals that the same countries who most oppose regulation to what might seem like a dystopian nightmare, are the same ones working hardest to build these weapons right now
