Fri, 20 March 2009 Listen to our conversation with P.W. Singer, author of Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century, a look at robots and how they're being used on real-world battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. Singer discusses how science fiction is becoming reality and robots are changing the rules of war right now. We talked about the rapid proliferation of robot warfighters, and who takes responsibility when things go wrong -- as they inevitably do. Singer's previous books looked at corporate warriors, and children being conscripted as soldiers. Read more about Singer and his book in my InformationWeek interview, and on the Wired for War Web site. blog comments powered by Disqus |
