The US Army Colonel predicted that Humananoids will be able to fight in 2030-40

The American officer Troy Denomi believes that robots cannot be completely autonomous because it is not ethical, and therefore they should be managed by a person. The US Army Colonel Troy Denomi believes that in 2030-2040, the military will actively use robots and humanoids on the battlefield. He stated this during the Conference Humanoids or Augmented Humans: Accelerating Autonomy with AI, writes The Sun.

During the discussion about the danger of using artificial intelligence (AI) and robots in the army, Denoma stressed that it is important to be sure that the robot works for a person and not a person for work. Such a conviction must be taken before the army work is tested. The colonel gave an example of recent testing, which resulted in some soldiers from the platoon that they were not they, but the work was controlling the situation.

After the trials, the military concluded that routine tasks, such as the use of several remote controls for one gadget, must be automated before the army will be able to move to full-fledged robotics management. During the testing, some commanders did not cope with the control of machines, as they had to be distracted by other tasks.

According to the colonel, the military was forced to devote all their time to the work, and therefore the impression that the car depends on the person, but the person on the car. Denomi says that such a situation must be corrected. The easiest way is to use drones of different types - airy, ground, surface and underwater. The soldiers also coped with a robot-attached M72 rocket launcher well.

The discussion participants stressed that the US Department of Defense has signed a document that guarantees that a person would always participate in the process of using artificial intelligence and robotics. Denoma emphasized the need for people's participation in this process. "I think the time when the car can understand ethics will not come long," he warned.
