The danger is that we won't be sending these fully-autonomous drones to 'war', but anytime a person in power feels like assassinating a leader or taking out a dissident, without having to make a big deal out of it. The reality is that AI will be used, not merely as a weapon, but as an accountability sink.

Pretty soon we'll have depositions where the bots explain they thought they saw a weapon and were in fear for their lives.

Counsel: "How do you explain the nanny cam footage of you planting a weapon?"

Robot: "I have encountered an exception and must power off. Shutting down."
