Artificial Intelligence Ethics Board Halts Drone Production

What is happening? The majority of an ethics board for a drone production resigned over concerns about a drone equipped with a taser. The company halted the taser drone and then….

Why is this important? After the tragedy in Uvalde, TX the company reinstated its development of the taser drone.

How will this be important? A law professor says “What’s the emergency? School shootings are a crisis. I agree,” Friedman said. “But Axon, on its own best timeline, isn’t going to come up with anything for a couple of years. Why was it necessary to jump ahead like this?”
