  • A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

  • A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  • A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    I believe this is only for fully autonomous robots. These are human controlled, more like an rc car with an upgrade.

    But there are aerial drones currently in use that have AI targeting.

    Actually autonomous? Or guided by computer vision? Technically CV is AI but not what concerns most people.

    Ukraine has autonomous drones as autonomous as “there must be a tank around these parts, go destroy it!” and it executes.

    Now they even recognize the type of tanks, their armor, so that they target its known weak point, and if it can’t, it targets the turret to make it at least unusable.

    They probably have something similar as a submarine drone they used to sink the Russian submarine (it was most likely too far and underwater for remote control, and the drones had to pick the right target, or had a precise map and not lose positioning).

    So they’re probably close to make these slaughterbots also autonomous to some degree.

    I never imagined humanoid shapes to be the perfect Terminators except for infiltration anyway…
