Former Insitu contract worker charged with theft... →
… seriously? Whut? Do people really do this? (And then think they can get away with it.)
(I bet it wasn’t as exciting as a Hollywood movie, where I had previously thought was the only place these sorts of things occur.)
Insitu was my first full-time workplace after getting out of college. In the first year I’d been there, I produced most of the original materials for those...

UADrone-Ethics Briefing: What a Leading Robot... →
futuramb:
Robots are replacing humans on the battlefield—but could they also be used to interrogate and torture suspects? This would avoid a serious ethical conflict between physicians’ duty to do no harm, or nonmaleficence, and their questionable role in monitoring vital signs and health of the interrogated.
