how do we decide how much autonomy these war machines should be imbued with? While we are assured that no autonomous weapon will function without the appropriate level of human judgment—who will be held responsible when an intelligent drone bombs a school instead of a military bunker—the drone that wrongly identified the building as hostile or the human who relied so much on machine intelligence that he suppressed his better judgment? Despite our best intentions, weapons proliferate and, while some countries may adopt high ethical standards when it comes to autonomous war machines, others will be less mindful. Which is why we have to assume that intelligent weapons will inevitably get into the hands of terrorists.
India has much to learn from Germany’s bold energy transformation.
The Germans gave the word kindergarten to the world of education. They gave the term wirtschaftswunder to development economics to describe their country’s remarkable economic transformation immediately following World War II.

For a country dubbed as the “sick man of Europe” at the beginning of this century, the achievement is stupendous.
