The author focuses on the common artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics myths, and the autonomous robots in the U.S. that are made for war. He states that AI is just as popular as its false prophecies as for its role in science fiction, and these prophecies makes it hard to raise awareness of the real danger of autonomous military robots that can apply lethal force. He mentions that the Future Combat Systems project in the U.S. is the largest technological project in history, and robots are at its core, and there are currently more U.S. ground robots in Iraq that British soldiers.
