Uh, right now, most drones that carry lethal munitions still have humans in the loop, and documented cases of fully autonomous drones, um, carrying out strikes all by themselves are limited.

There are a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest one is that right now the software is optimized only to kill everyone in one area, and cannot fully select allies from enemies.

But that's changing at the pace of artificial intelligence, which is why this video is so important.

In 1942, the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov could already envision terminator killer robots wiping out humanity.

So he proposed three common sense laws of robotics that would have to be the core principles in the development of AI if we, as a human species, ever wanted a chance to survive.

One, a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Two, a robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the first law.

And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.

They're pretty straightforward, and Asimov wanted this to be the base operating system of every robot, baked into the very core of all AI.

Palmer Luckey's company makes and sells weapons, and his first investor was none other than Peter Thiel, whose company, Palantir, does surveillance and analysis that often decides how those strikes are carried out.

And since its founding, Anduril has raised at least $6.9 billion from investors.

Of course, they are not the only billionaires profiting on drone delivered death machines.
