To All States
Prohibit the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons through an international legally binding instrument.
Adopt national laws and policies to prohibit the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons.
Commence reviews of technologies and components that could lead to fully autonomous weapons. These reviews should take place at the very beginning of the development process and continue throughout the development and testing phases.

To Roboticists and Others Involved in the Development of Robotic Weapons
Establish a professional code of conduct governing the research and development of autonomous robotic weapons, especially those capable of becoming fully autonomous, in order to ensure that legal and ethical concerns about their use in armed conflict are adequately considered at all stages of technological development.

If we criminalize the ownership of killer robots, would that mean that only criminals would have killer robots?

Killer robots don't kill people. Only people kill people, the people who program the robots.

[Bella Fortuna]

If only robots are killers, then only killers will be robots.

[Pappa]

If I kill my robot in a forest, will it make a noise?

[Cormac]

All these things will be lost in time, like tears, in rain...

[Mysturji]

Tell me where to sign.
Or...
I'll be back.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. [laughs] Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like [coughs] tears in rain. Time to die.

A robot in the hand is worth two out on the street killing people.

Yes. I should've checked first. In fairness, I know that it should be "moments", but was careless.

Ah well... Now I'm off to wiki.

Roy Batty wasn't a robot.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Killer, robot.

[amused]

Wrong movie.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Here's me caring.
