What an incredibly odd and weak episode of “Streitkräfte und Strategien” on autonomous weapons. Germany has internationally renowned experts on this topic - @drfranksauer @adahlma to just name two - and @cschmiester presents this topic as if no one had ever heard of it.
I know not everyone follows this topic closely but over the last years it has been discussed in quite some detail in the German media. So going “oh wow, this Stuart Russell in this FT article warns of these systems” is just… weak sauce.
Just a few examples of recent media reports on this:

Streitkräfte und Strategien *itself* interviewed @drfranksauer on this in *2018* 🙃

And reported on the topic again in 2019

I mean really @NDRinfo
You may think ’why does she care so much and isn’t this just self promotion’?
But after getting the #drone debate so wrong, I really want us to get the #AI in warfare/autonomous weapons debate right. Let’s do better.
