- Over the past decade, the US military has shifted the way it fights its wars, deploying more unmanned systems in the battlefield than ever before.
Today there are more than 7,000 drones and 12,000 ground robots in use by all branches of the military.
These systems mean less American deaths and also less political risk for the US when it takes acts of lethal force - often outside of official war zones.
But US lethal drone strikes in countries like Pakistan have brought up serious questions about the legal and political implications of using these systems.
Fault Lines looks at how these new weapons of choice are allowing the US to stretch the international laws of war and what it could mean when more and more autonomy is developed for these lethal machines.

It's a sad world we live in,bro.
Facts!!
Hello from the Al Jazeera Fault Lines team - let's keep the comments here pertinent to the episode and please no off-topic or offensive comments or personal attacks.
@AlJazeeraEnglish great job aljazeera.please include more coverage of pakistan and afghanistan.this issue is so important to most of us
If humanity continue to walk this path of spend all it's money in building weapons rather than solving problems like poverty; one day this world will eat itself up.
Killing others from a safe distance is always cowardly ,imagine a boxing match where one stood in the ring and the other only pressed buttons controlling a robot
I missed the good old days like Achilles vs Hector
9:10 "the barriers to war in our society are already being lowered. Now we have a technology that literally take those barriers to the ground" - good times ahead!?
Excellent presentation...
I was hopping it would have a second part...
We are doing great job at creating intelligent machines to fight our battles, now if we could just create some intelligent politicians to run our countries.. We would not need to spend all the effort and money on the tech toys.
This report was fine until the 'experts' started telling us that robots will be smarter than us. Its true that in terms of pure processing power and data access, machines may be able to out perform most people, but in reality this isn't intelligence. Intelligence is based upon problem solving, and fundamentally self consciousness. The notion that we can create a robotic brain that excels our own when we don't even understand how our own works is absurd. Robots will never be smarter than us.
What an appallingly simple hypothesis, "The robots are gonna be smarter than us!" It requires the right roots, the right knowledge to grow into something great. Robots are clearly another medium of Human thought and we ALWAYS loose information through mediums.
casualties deter wars...perhaps we need more of them so people will figure out that violence sucks
Glitches or bugs in artificial intelligence are really difficult to predict , so this is really a dilemma of the autonomous systems when get very complex , self awareness is one possibility , because nobody knows what self awareness is or how is developed . So this glitch you talking about is called terminator for me the chance exists .
There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a Data, a Lore and even a Borg, the question is only when not whether. It boils down to adapting to the new reality not trying to stop it. Law and rules will follow as the number of precedents goes up.
great report - thanks AJ. (PS. Who is the female interviewee? She should be heading the robot programme)
I am sure that robot shall dominate the world in the future.
just think in the 50s things like this were only dreams and in such a short time they have become reall. i think that a human element should always be required to use drones to attack, make everything else automatic just not that part. i think that is the best safety feature that we can put on drones.
amazing words in the end...
23:28 That is a very true statement. But how would we as human beings go about shutting down those two institutions? Especially considering the fact so many people not only benefit from both but they have their behavior so ingrained into War and Capitalism.
@AlJazeeraEnglish Thanks for the vid, I like military stuff
I agree with you whole heartedly, however courage has a price; casualties

175 children... that alone will not justify all of these.
Holy crap, there is actually a company named iRobot. I thought it was just a movie.
Smith n Wesson Drones - the new point and click ...
This technology has profound implications for our unmanned space program as well.
What is the name of sound track starting @ 3:56 ..?
Nek minute, Terminator.
As anyone that knows programing will tell you computers will never think they will never be smart. That's not how they work.
Terminators by 2050 :D
Does this mean that robots should then be given equal rights to humans, tried under an equal rule of law if they eventually do possess individual autonomy and intelligence?
Technology solves problems but seems to create so much more.
2012, the year of the terminator. Hopefully it'll turn on it's creators and leave the general population alone.
Yeah, not so sweet when you are the pawn and not so good when you, flesh and blood, are playing chess against a very very good computer.
What is the music theme at the opening please?
I was going to comment about that. The theme song sounds good
yeah we'll get right on that
what was the white walking robot they featured in this short film?
This shows how important WikiLeaks is!
How do I get training to be one of the people using these things?
We should keep progressing with robotic technology. When artificial intelligence is superior to human intelligence it will be able to work out a solution to human cultural differences other than using violence. Although we are smart creatures, we seem to deny the fact we will ultimately descend to our primitive impulses to resolve a problem... which is violence. Lacking these primitive survival impulses that override reason, artificial intelligence will provide us with ethical answers.
robots as smart as humans? I don't think they know how complicated the human brain is.. We're far from that.
I forgot the "'D*mb Fu*k! at the end of that", Good luck, ya's need it!
Rita J King is hot!!!!
I , Robot ? For REAL? You MUST be kidding me.... (ಠ.ಠ)
until Judgement day when the machines rise
Pakistan “RISING” has established itself as part of a very dynamic regional paradigm amalgamating it geographically with Central Asia, Middle East and Europe. While also situated at the gateway to the Arabian Gulf, Pakistan will also have access to the waters of the Caspian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Arabian Sea, China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. This positions Pakistan at the crossroads to peace and prosperity in the world and economic well-being as well as military clout
This is SPACE FORCE !!
Diaz likes this!!! WAR DIAZ
the new era will look like terminator 2 lol
@xjehadix Your comment makes me realize that just maybe this oparation is aiming to increase the taliban numbers, not the oposite, just think about it, If the increase, well we will have more confrontation, hence more war, hence more money for the military. Do you agree?
just think without 9/11 we wouldnt have this much technology rite now and we wouldnt have to worie about robots that could kill us in our sleep.
I luv aje
@timigaguy you have such a beautiful country new zealand
truth!
I wrote my comment before seeing the video, but it is awsome that they are telling the same as me...
War is a Racket

@Gormanmod I wouldn't call a robot that simply follows routines "intelligent", but that may be a question of definition..
at 16:09, is that girl assuming that in the future when people view this video people will think those earrings are fashionable?

Really? Putting a slow, low pitch, scary background music?
At least 80% of those killed in tribal areas of Pakistan are innocent civilians, whose relatives then turn into militants. For every civilian killed by a drone strike, 10 more sign up for the Taliban. When the drone strikes started back in 2004 there were less than 5000 Taliban in the region. Now after the death of thousands of people in drone attacks, there are over 20,000 Taliban in the region.
@datworkers :
This is the price of war. War is supposed to be ugly.
Ohhh please
Sounds like the IRobot move... : /
Where you at robots?
until the EMP barrier wars begin.
@djorkid :
Actually the Fed holds the majority of US debt. China is just the largest foreign holders of US debt.
And then man created Geth.
@searcher619 We need to have a space program first.
the brits have robots too buddy, infact u have the same exact kind we do lol.

Coming to American Homeland in 2012. So F'd Up.
Will all these robots be 'un-hackable'? Is it even possible to build a system that can't be compromised? What happens if the enemy takes control of these systems and either captures them or even turns them against their original controllers? It looks like it's already been done - case in point is highly credible claims that the Iranians captured a US drone.
@Djecho1109
Should men engage in warfare is a philosophical question. My point is, that military robots wont make warfare any more barbaric or murderous that it already is, and that there are true horrors of war that jourlanist should shed light upon. Instead, they try to catch the viewer's attention by some fancy sci-fi topic such as "Military robots". Its pretty much a hype. The theme is far LESS deserving attention than the media try to stirr about it.
@DivineMoleculeDMT when we try our time machine
Cylons! 2012
I say we spend all of the military based money instead on Rita J. King love bot.
change takes time, you want quick fixes and easy answers, we'll there aren't any
How many more Apple product shots can you fit in a docu?
@alfredaskeljung I see your point, but personally I still disagree with the premise that robots will ever be smarter than us. Despite the fact that we can image the brain better than before, at a fundamental level we don't really know how a billion to the billion binary connections can produce consciousness. And I suspect that we never will, simply because of the sheer complexity of the issue. I'm a med student and the thing that strikes me when studying neurology is how little we know.
11:08 enemy UAV inbound.
@7:51 you messed up =/
Uncle Sam's tech will dominate all.........................
The future is here....
Skynet is coming!!!
If our brains were so simple we could understand them we would be so simple we wouldn't be able to. Something simler may aply to computers.
Probably wouldn't be a glitch... Most likely a video game nerd on a power trip.
we are trying to build robots who can hurt us and we want them to be smarter than us.tell me what makes us smarter then computers,even birds are wiser then us.they make nests high on trees so as to save their young.lets all get togather and put an end to this madness .lets include more people in decisions of life dont tack people out of equation.and give it to piece of metal n wires.
@willythewildwino
i don't think you know what it is to live behind a shield.
Only if your a Nieve! And Slow! (thats a given).
Thats what I thought too ^^,
16:00 robots are fucking awesome
911 = Drones
Ok picture this scenario ,a drone attack on NY ??? different thing now isnt it ,no difference at all in my book ,in fact more deserved
If our ennemy had drones, then they would use it to. Se why not using and exploring our technollegy?
only aerican robots? what about the Japanese robots?
And Americans claim zyclon b is despicable.
@willythewildwino
Win!
remember war all lose, the only way to win is not to fight a war, let the rich do it
and another thing (lol) computers will never be able to out smart us because they are to smart i mean human brains are too random to truly predict...respond please if u have a differing view or don't understand
17:53 LMAO!!
Thats a Strange comment. do u work for Alex Jones?
