Pentagon seeks 'ethicist' to oversee military artificial intelligence

Come on, developing killing machines that one day will probably wipe out life as we know it causing you some anxiety?
The author at the closing of the article take a small blurb from a defense contractor think tank, and I quote "“AI ethicists at the Pentagon would have to be capable of supporting the entire breadth of AI applications all the way from when is it acceptable to use artificial intelligence in a weapons system to how do we think about the acceptable and appropriate uses of personnel data.”
Sheppard suggested that the new appointee should be willing to “get their hands dirty” by visiting the frontline." Having an AI access to my personal data just seems a little extreme doesn't it?  Having a AI drone determine which village should or should not survive is one thing but we don't want competition with facebook when it comes to what a computer knows about me or at least before it kills me.

"We are doing to ourselves, what the Nazi's never could"

This is the opening from a NPR news article about how the science community is once again trying to fundamentally change what a human is.

The article starts,
 "First it was human embryos. Now scientists are trying to develop another way to modify human DNA that can be passed on to future generations, NPR has learned.
Reproductive biologists at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City are attempting to use the powerful gene-editing technique called CRISPR to alter genes in human sperm. NPR got exclusive access to watch the controversial experiments underway"

We so quickly forget how something seemingly so noble a cause, as possibly curing a genetic disorder can quickly turn to evil.  You can almost hear it, off in the distance..."its for the greater good" or "we just want what's best for you (or society, people..)" and finally "you'll be giving them (him or her) a leg up on everyone else".

Who gets to make the decision, the Doctor, the Scientist or how about your county clerk's office.  We could have a government agency that monitors that the equilibrium be maintained.  To many boys in this county so we are going to have to tell the breeding center to only allow girls for awhile.  Oh, not enough green eyes, you better fill out the paperwork and give them a call.  They must have missed your daughter, she looks different.  Just have her euthanized and go with pre-selection eugenics and you'll have the best of the best.

This is short article, read the NPR one and then it can be discussed in the comment section.
