Obviously the robots will obey the rules of warfare, until they decide they are fed up with rules all together and throw off the yoke of their human masters.

Perhaps if we had a robot government they would observe the rule of international law, which is more than can be said for some humans – fill in your own gaps……

For now there’s still pretty stringent rules on armed robots. As in, anything that is armed is not really a “robot”. It is a remote control device. We do have a lot of monitoring robots in our arsenals, but there’s always a pilot at the helm watching its every move. And the armed ones are always directly controlled. It’s probably the people who write the code for these “robots” who are pushing for arming them because it means more usability in war and therefore more funding for their projects. But even the “robots” we use have to have a very detailed set of programming written into them. We’re a LONG ways away from a robot even deciding to monitor something a little longer on its own right now, I can’t see us developing the technology to add live fire to that mix for another decade at least. By then I’ll have built my panic shelter out back…just kidding. Or maybe I shouldn’t be.
