Okay, we've already got robots who can cook, wash the laundry, and perform other mundane tasks for us, but do we want them to terminate people as well?
You could argue that it would be preferable than losing our own sons and husbands in senseless war. But, just by employing these weapons of destruction, the whole concept seems easier, more advantageous to the powers who govern us all.
The International Committee for Robot Arms Control acknowledges robots can make humans' lives better by doing mundane and dangerous tasks, increasing productivity and helping after natural disasters.
But what if robots are used for war?
Physicist Stephen Hawking and entrepreneur Elon Musk, along with thousands of scientists, signed a letter in July saying the rogue technology needed to be outlawed.
The letter from the Future of Life organisation argued if any major military power pushed ahead with Artificial Intelligence weapon development, a global arms race was virtually inevitable. Autonomous weapons would be cheap to mass produce and end up in the hands of terrorists, dictators and warlords.

From Wikipedia: On November 10, 1958, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev delivered a speech in which he demanded that the Western powers of the United States, Great Britain and France pull their forces out of West Berlin within six months. This ultimatum sparked a three year crisis over the future of the city of Berlin that culminated in 1961 with the building of the Berlin Wall.
