If robots are doing the fighting, what emotions does that provoke when considering the value of human life versus robot 'life'?

I think that everyone wants robots now to take over the human acts

 @9KWTJ94Republican from Pennsylvania  commented…1yr1Y

I think that at some point, us humans will lose all will to fight and be scared of the concept of war, but I am fine with the usage and help of robots in terms of drones, planes, tanks, etc.

 @9KWTRCQRepublican from New Hampshire  commented…1yr1Y

People are going to end up empathizing for the robots and it will tear the world apart more than it currently is.

Robots have no morality, and that takes away from military training. It is unhealthy and provokes the usage of robots in our every day lives.

 @9KWQPQJ from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

If a robot is doing killing and they are taking human lives it seems unethical

 @9KWPNF5commented…1yr1Y

I feel as if its a good point but robots can only be programmed, humans can be reprogrammed to be trained assassins/killers and legally for their country.

I believe that if a robot has the ability to feel, possessing its own conscience, it should be considered as life and more than just a tool of war.

 @9KWX5GFIndependent from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

It provokes the idea that the people of Ukraine are more important than a piece of technology.

 @9KWVJD8Republican from Pennsylvania  commented…1yr1Y

It is almost dehumanizing the effects and costs of wars. The loss of human life.

 @9KWQY4KPeace and Freedom from New York  commented…1yr1Y

It will have me questioning what the robot is truly capable of.

 @9KWQ2GX from Louisiana  commented…1yr1Y

ai is scary and slowly taking over

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
