The Dangers of Autonomous Weapons

There has been a push, particularly in the UN and among advocacy groups, for a global ban on the development of autonomous or A.I. weaponry arguing that there should always be a human in the chain when operating weapons of war. Regardless of the ethical concerns within the issue, here is a rather chilling article that presents that it may already be too late to enact such a ban. There seems to me to be a chronic problem developing where our all too human governments are now too slow to keep up with regulating the increasingly rapid development of technology.

Is it too late to ban autonomous weaponry?
