Description

The old adage that Prevention is Better Than Cure seems particular fitting in the context of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). When the proverbial horse has already bolted and is entering into the final furlong, it’s a bit late to try and get it back into the starting blocks or stable.

When it comes to Fully Autonomous Weapons, there is no need for another post-facto what have we done? moment. Not another, tired déjà vu. We have to get out in front of this now. As was the case for WMD, when or if Fully Autonomous Weapons become a terrifying reality, it will, already, de facto, be too late - a situation from which it is impossible to truly, effectively retreat from the precipice of oblivion.
