Why read it?
2 authors picked Kill Decision as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how this book delves deep into the unsettling implications of harnessing artificial intelligence for military purposes. It made me think about the complex ethical dilemmas and dangers associated with integrating AI into warfare. The gripping narrative captivated me, prompting me to ponder the profound impact of technology on our existence.
From Noah's list on science fiction, intrigue and ethical exploring.
When Kill Decision came out, I sent an email to all my Department of Defense colleagues saying: finally, a book that gets swarms, drones, computer vision, and lethal autonomous weapons right! The book shows behavioral robotics can duplicate insect intelligence to create simple, but relentlessly effective, drones. The inexpensive individual drones are limited in intelligence but a greater, more adaptive intelligence emerges from the swarm. It’s on par with a Michael Crichton technothriller with lots of action (plus romance), making it an easy read.
From Robin's list on sci-fi that describe how robots really work.
