Jodie Foster 'More Comfortable Having Robots' Own Guns...
2018-06-10
Hollywood actress Jodie Foster said she would be "much more comfortable having robots" own a gun than an emotional human doing so.
She obviously doesn't know squat about programming or people

#10  There was the rather spectacular miscues of the M247 Sergeant York anti-aircraft system:
In February 1982 the prototype was demonstrated for a group of US and British officers at Fort Bliss, along with members of Congress and other VIPs. When the computer was activated, it immediately started aiming the guns at the review stands, causing several minor injuries as members of the group jumped for cover. Technicians worked on the problem, and the system was restarted. This time it started shooting towards the target, but fired into the ground 300 m in front of the tank.

#6  But remember, she played an FBI agent in a movie almost three decades ago, so she's an expert. It's called Lou Grant syndrome...

#4  Does Jodie have armed guards?

She should lead by example.

Also does that imply the police would also be disarmed?

#3  We care about your opinion because ... ?

Actually robots are soulless entities that perform as they are programmed to do. Just like you!
