scott ritter. scott good to have you on the program. if this autonomy drones strike is confirmed how much of a game changer is it? not much. i mean, to be honest, it's a small payload. it killed a human target. the cost effectiveness of the system has got to be brought to bear at some point. you know, how much is a drone cost versus how much does it cost to replace a single fighter? this is the 1st time that, you know, we've seen this weapon use. so it's getting a lot of attention. but understand that every time a weapon is used, information is collected on how it was used. in the case of fully autonomous system . you know, it, it can be spoofed, it can be jammed. defensive measures can be put into place. you know, there's any number of things it can be done. so it's not a game changer. it's, it's worry that this technology exists and it could be applied to weapon systems that could be game and changes. but, you know, having a church has quite a u, a b flying over the battlefield, expanding itself on one or 2. human targets isn't going

far, no countries have acted any such laws. former marine us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. he told me there is no place in society for fully autonomous weaponry . i would never argue for a i had to be in the loop. i would always say that a human being has to be in the loop. humans make mistakes or humans are programmed by their modalities to permit certain things to occur that shouldn't occur. but i will tell you what, you, you get the proper rules of engagement in place. and you have a human in the link who's properly trained, who's you know, who is not going to allow the weapon system to be used in a manner which operates outside of the rules of engagement. and that's, that's a weapon system that i would approve of in a combat type situation. human rights watch and others who are seeking a total ban on these systems. they're just not going to succeed. because unfortunately in war, every side is looking for advantage real or perceived. and right now, the church perceived the dam advantage in terms of these autonomy systems of area is urging the you to act much faster in i
