«Breaking News» Self-driving tanks and swarms of deadly drones are being developed by Russia

An army of 'killer robots' that will assist infantry on the battlefield has been unveiled in propaganda footage released by Russia

The video, released by the Kremlin, appears to showcase the state's latest drone technology.

That includes and AI-controlled driverless tank that follow the aim of a soldier's rifle to obliterate targets with its own weaponry.

Russia's Advanced Research Foundation (ARF) said the ultimate goal is to have an army of robots entirely controlled by Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

Currently the drones are deployed alongside infantry who remotely control the vehicles, but in the future the tech will be fully autonomous.

That means the military hardware will be able to  target and kill enemies without any human intervention.

'The evolution of combat robots is on the path of increasing the ability to perform tasks in autonomous mode with a gradual reduction in the role of the operator,' a spokesperson for the ARF told  C41SRNET.

The video was uploaded to YouTube by the ARF and shows off the capabilities of the killer tech.  

Russia has released frightening footage which showcases their latest robot technology which includes killer robots, autonomous drones and driverless tanks

The propaganda clip released by the Kremlin shows AI-controlled mini-tanks and swarms of autonomous cat-sized drones obliterate targets

The robots are controlled remotely and are designed to assist Russian infantry. But in the future the tech will be fully autonomous, which means it can target and kill enemies on its own

WHAT IS THE AUGUST UN CONVENTION ON KILLER ROBOTS?

Experts from scores of countries are meeting to discuss ways to define and deal with 'killer robots' - futuristic weapons systems that could conduct war without human intervention.

The weeklong gathering is the second this year at UN offices in Geneva to focus on such lethal autonomous weapons systems and explore ways of possibly regulating them, among other issues.

Some top advocacy groups say governments and militaries should be prevented from developing such systems, which have sparked fears and led some critics to envisage harrowing scenarios about their use.

As the meeting opened Monday, Amnesty International urged countries to work toward a ban.

Amnesty researcher on Artificial Intelligence Rasha Abdul Rahim said killer robots are 'no longer the stuff of science fiction,' warning that technological advances are outpacing international law.

Superpowers around the world are working on a range of autonomous and remote controlled vehicles to change the face of modern warfare.

Earlier this month, the British Army announced plans that will see 200 miniature drones 'smaller than a human hand' deployed on the battlefield to provide soldiers with an eye in the sky.

These mini-drones, dubbed Black Hornet, could take over the life-threatening surveillance and reconnaissance duties currently undertaken by soldiers.

The Ministry of Defence is investing £66million ($87m) in robotic systems, which will also include automated supply delivery drones. 

Experts have issued warning over these developments, with the world's largest gathering of scientists - held in February - claiming killer robots are a 'grave threat to humanity' and should be banned.

Scientists and human rights campaigners told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Washington DC lethal droids able to select targets without human help represent the 'third revolution' in warfare after gun powder and nuclear weapons.

Just as international agreements greatly restricted the use of landmines, similar international agreements should be used to prevent robotic killers becoming established.

WILL ROBOTS ONE DAY GET AWAY WITH WAR CRIMES?

If a robot unlawfully kills someone in the heat of battle, who is liable for the death?

In a report by the Human Rights Watch in 2017, they highlighted the rather disturbing answer: no one.

The organisation says that something must be done about this lack of accountability - and it is calling for a ban on the development and use of 'killer robots'.

Called 'Mind the Gap: The Lack of Accountability for Killer Robots,' their report details the hurdles of allowing robots to kill without being controlled by humans.

'No accountability means no deterrence of future crimes, no retribution for victims, no social condemnation of the responsible party,' said Bonnie Docherty, senior Arms Division researcher at the HRW and the report's lead author.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
