Humans should not cede control for weapons systems to machines
Of all actions that should be most carefully guarded, the action of killing should be the last for which we cede control to machine-based decision-making.

US military drones and armed ground robots are remotely controlled by people, but new Russian robots identify targets and shoot autonomously. A University of Florida scientist has grown a living "brain" that has taught itself to fly a simulated drone. 

Meanwhile, little attention has been paid to process for determining how to outsource constraints on the decision to kill to intelligent machines.

References and notes on the delegation of critical decisions to Artificial Intelligence are being collected here.
