A new set of laws has been proposed to govern operations by killer
robots. The ideas were floated by John S Canning, an engineer at the
Naval Surface Warfare Centre, Dahlgren Division – an American
weapons-research and test establishment. Mr Canning’s “Concept of
Operations for Armed Autonomous Systems” presentation can be downloaded
