``Slaughterbots'' is a near-future movie depicting a scenario in which a murder drone for justice kills ordinary people one after another.



The development of autonomous

robots and self-driving cars is progressing with the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Meanwhile, there is a movement that views the development of `` robots that autonomously kill people '' as dangerous, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis have signed a pledge. About . One future scenario of what will happen if an ``autonomous killer robot'' is developed is published on YouTube.

Slaughterbots-YouTube


A man stands on a podium with a large screen in the background. This is a common sight at technology company presentations.



The man talks about drone technology to 'eliminate bad guys.'



A man introduces it as a 'new technology'...



Small drones floating in the air 'Slaughterbots'



This is the video captured by Slaughterbots. Recognizing a person's head.



When a man extends his hand...



Slaughterbots in the palm of your hand.



Slaughterbots look like common camera-equipped drones, but they are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and can fly autonomously. The processor reacts 100 times faster than humans and performs ``statistically controlled movements'' to avoid being targeted. In addition to a camera, various sensors, and facial recognition functions, it is equipped with 3g of

molded explosives .



A man threw Slaughterbots towards the audience.



This time, Slaughterbots detected a mannequin.



The next moment, the Slaughterbots attacked the mannequin's forehead, and a hole opened in the mannequin's forehead.



A man explains how this works. When Slaughterbots discovers the target...



It will hit that forehead.



The explosives penetrated the skull and destroyed its contents, the brain.



'It's often said that guns don't kill people; people kill people. However, people often disobey commands or miss their aim. So why not let the weapon make the decision? Please believe me, they are all bad people.'' So the screen shows the image of the ``criminal group that committed the evil deed.''



In the video, the criminals try to escape in a car, but the Slaughterbots are sure to zero in on their target and destroy their heads.




The criminal is trying to escape...



Slaughterbots tracked.



And I'll definitely finish it off.



The new product lineup will be introduced to the sound of applause and cheers from the audience.



``Slaughterbots are trained as a team and will penetrate buildings, cars, trains, and people even if they are obstructed. They won't stop.'' The video shows a large number of drones being dropped from an aircraft. It is said that this can be done with a budget of 25 million dollars (about 2.7 billion yen), and it is possible to kill half of the city and the bad guys.



Targets can be specified by entering information such as age, gender, body type, military uniform, and ethnicity. ``Nuclear weapons are obsolete. Eliminate your enemy virtually, without risk,'' the man preached.



This technology became a hot topic, claiming that it would shorten wars.



However, after that, news broke out that the Slaughterbots would fall into the hands of the wrong people, a ``worst case scenario''...



The technology that was meant to eliminate bad guys will now be used by bad guys.




And the news began to report things like ``cities are under automated attack by someone''.




Injured people are being taken to the hospital one after another.



Although government authorities are investigating, it is not known whether the crime was committed by a group or by an individual.



Drone attacks change people's lives, saying ``Once you are targeted, there is no way to escape.'' ``You don't know when, where, or who will be targeted.'' Defensive bars will be installed outside the windows of her home.



Inside the room, a woman is working on a PC.



The woman was calling her son, a student who lives far away. To the mother asking 'Can I make a video call?'...



The young man replies, ``It's impossible because I'm with other people right now.'' You can see that the room where the young man is located also has a guard on the window.



'I've been looking at some of your posts. Like the one with the girl...'



'...What is this black screen?'



``It's a human rights thing, Mom,'' the young man said on the phone as he went out. A fence has also been installed outside.



``You are not involved in politics, are you?'' To the worried mother, the young man said, ``Mom, it's safe here.''



Contrary to the young man's words, the town is deserted and is monitored by security guards.



The appearance of the drone has been confirmed...



'Please try to avoid crowds today. Please roll down the window shutters when you are inside the room,' the authorities warned.



Meanwhile, the criminal group releases a large number of Slaughterbots from the car.



The horde of Slaughterbots is heading towards one facility.



When I think that Slaughterbots approached the building...



First, the drone to destroy the facility is attached to the building.



And then it exploded.



After destroying the building and creating an 'entrance', the horde of Slaughterbots will rush into the building. The facility seems to have been a university, and a group of people enters the classroom.



The targets in the classroom were attacked one after another, causing a state of panic.



The young man from earlier hid under the desk...



Some students leave the classroom.



At this point, the young man spoke to his mother again. I talk to my mother in low voice...



The target of Slaughterbots was a young man who was involved in political activities.



In the middle of the call, a popping sound sounded and the video was cut off.



The above movie was created by Stuart Russell, a computer science professor at the University of California, Berkeley. 'What we see here is the integration and miniaturization of existing technology.' The idea of letting go can destroy our freedom and security, and thousands of my comrades agree, we can avoid the future we just saw. But the window to take action will soon be running out,” Russell said.



The above movie was released in 2017 and has been a big topic, and at the time of writing the article, it has been played over 3 million times on YouTube.

Beijing Institute of Technology in China has a 'weapon system development' curriculum that gathers young people under the age of 18 in order to develop the next generation 'AI weapon', and AI that actually appears in the movie There is a strong possibility that weapons will be developed. Mr. Russell warns against such a move, saying that if the development of machines that kill people in any form is allowed, weapons of mass destruction will be created soon. 'I hope that students participating in the curriculum will see 'Slaughterbots' and then challenge the program,' he commented.

As of December 2017, we are evaluating whether it is possible to develop a drone that The Economist appears in a movie. If the drone is too small, it will be affected by the turbulence generated by its own flight when it approaches a wall, which may hinder its flight, making autonomous robots like Slaughterbots impossible at this point. is what they said. On the other hand, The Economist concludes that it is possible to improve such shortcomings in the future and realize Slaughterbots.
