Mysterious killer robot arms race has begun
Killer robots, professional name for "fatal autonomy robot." Initially, it was an intelligent robot that could be replaced by soldiers proposed and researched by the United States.
With the development of such technologies as computer control and artificial intelligence, the killer robots were remotely controlled by the beginning humans and developed to be controlled by computer software and sensor devices. Until now, tasks such as the identification of enemies, the judgment of enemies, and the killing of enemies can be performed automatically. .
Now, in addition to the United States, South Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Japan and other countries have all launched their own robotic fighters, and countries have started arms races for killer robot R&D. However, the progress of R&D has always been unknown.
On the other hand, in order to restrict or prohibit the use of specific types of weapons in armed conflicts, in 1980, 51 countries discussed the CCW in Geneva, and their intention to stop using them was considered to be excessively inhuman or Some types of weapons that have indiscriminate effects.
The treaty entered into force in December 1983. As of August 2017, there were 120 treaty states, including China. In 2014, the State party explored the legal, moral and social issues caused by the "Law of Lethal Autonomous Weapons" (killer robots). At this point, the killer robot was officially brought into public view and topic for the first time.
At the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) meetings held on the 13th to the 17th of this month, CCW formally announced the “accurate killing†robotic products to the public. The conference was organized by "Campaign to Stop Killer Robots" and representatives from over 70 countries attended.
It is understood that previously, because artificial intelligence technology is not yet mature, the killer robot can not accurately locate the target, which will lead to accidental injury to soldiers and other issues, it has not been introduced, it is not paid attention. Now blessing people face recognition and other AI technology, and with the gradual reduction of product costs, killer robot problems began to imminent. Next, let's take a look at the product used to demonstrate this in the conference.
Face Recognition's "New Application": Fast and Accurate!
The Stinger small robot at the conference was a small drone. It came from a technology company named stratoenergetics, which is dedicated to creating intelligence weapons that replace soldiers and humans for defense and other departments.
Stinger is the company's first mass-produced small-arms weapon. It is fully automated with a wide-angle lens, tactical sensors, facial recognition technology, and a processor that is 100 times faster than humans. The drone is internally loaded with 3g of explosives to kill the target, and its movement mode is random movement, which is a function specially set for anti-sniper.
It is worth pointing out that most of Stinger's functional realization depends on the system it is equipped with. This system is the anti-Personnel Systems (APS) developed by the company and applied to all the company's products.
The APS system employs a series of sophisticated AI technologies to achieve specific functions:
Obstacle avoidance: The neural network in each APS has been trained in millions of hours in different simulation environments to ensure that obstacles can be avoided accurately, even in motion. ;
Random Actions: Train the video content of thousands of mosquitoes and other flying insects to allow drones to achieve a random flight movement pattern;
Efficient ammunition: By aiming accurately, drones can drive the size of projectiles and propellants to a minimum;
Facial recognition: It will unify all the information in the target's iPhone, APS, and parallel networks, and identify the target through gait, gender, and even ethnicity;
Multiple self-positioning protocols: Equipped with GPS and various space technologies, APS can assist drones to locate targets in space.
Incommonicado and EMP Hardening: Once the weapon carrying the APS is in flight, there is no way to block its electromagnetic signal through interference, air defenses, band changes, or any other means;
Big Data Link: The company obtains and integrates a large number of data sets. When a user uses his server, the server can associate various features of the user for precise positioning in use.
Thus, unlike traditional “killer robotsâ€, Stinger combines facial recognition, a variety of spatial positioning techniques, and big data to achieve precise positioning of target objects, greatly reducing the possibility of accidental injury and manslaughter. But at the same time, it also indicates that "killer robots", like weapons, have begun to be really used by people and pose a threat to everyone's safety.
Inevitable facts: The prohibition of killer weapons is simply impossible
In his opening speech at the Expert Meeting of the States Parties to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons in 2014, Michael Mueller, Acting Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva, said: “This expert meeting is aimed at resolving the issue of the deadly autonomous weapons system. As a first step, I urge all representatives to take bold actions."
Later, at the opening address of the International Artificial Intelligence Conference this year, 116 experts from 26 countries led by Elon Musk and DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman formally issued an open letter to the United Nations, calling for relevant measures to stop the round "Intelligent Weapons" launched an arms race.
In addition, they also stated that, if possible, such weapons should also be included in the United Nations' CCW weapons ban list. Thus, at this year's CCW meeting, more than 200 Canadian scientists from the academic and industry sectors and 100 Australian scientists jointly wrote an open letter to their Prime Minister, calling for restrictions on relevant research.
In response, Noel Sharkey of the International Robotic Arms Control Committee stated: "The ban on killing robots is not intended to limit artificial innovation associated with robots or military civilian automation systems. Instead, we want to ensure that humans have control over each attack. â€
For this issue, the National Defense University professor and admiral Zhang Zhaozhong also made it clear: “Now that this kind of robot is fighting on the battlefield, if it is 10%, then it should be 30% after 10 years, then it should be 40 after 20 years. %, will grow rapidly, your limit is useless, robotic weapons will develop dramatically, because it saves money, no one goes to the battlefield, people in this very comfortable place, blowing air-conditioning to watch the big screen, the front of the robot In that fight, the real one could not die. The robot was blown up and destroyed the reproduction. The war of robots will become more and more in the future. Therefore, it is useless to rely on regulations and regulations."
Technology is our only "armor"
At the end of the video, Stuart Russell, a professor at Berkeley and a senior AI researcher, reminded that although the video and the killer robot in it are not real, the technology in the video has already existed. To avoid the tragedy in the video, we need to act quickly.
It is worth pointing out that the "action" here refers not only to the adoption of treaties or guidelines, but also to the broad range of research scholars who use their own technology to crack and protect the product. As Toby Walsh, professor of AI at the University of New South Wales, said: “Academic circles have clearly expressed their views that automatic weapons are easily exploited by terrorists and we need to make a difference before this nightmare appears.†(Original title : This AI killer is really cold! Face recognition + space positioning can kill everyone)
This video of the science and technology development was held at the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons Convention held in Geneva. The speaker demonstrated to everyone the small robot named Stinger: only the palm-sized robot hits the target object, direct and accurate. Penetrates key parts of the body.
