Autonomous Nuclear Armed Drones
Italian based Alenia Aeronautica is working on a 7 meter long Sky-X combat drone. The drone is mainly a proof of concept to see how many decisions the plane can make on its own in mid air. The AI developed in the Sky-X will then be used to teach the $360 million pan-European UCAV project ominously named the 'Neuron Killer'. There are even rumours of possibly arming the 'Neuron Killer' with a nuclear arsenal. Robots with nukes, Skynet anyone?

Dude, after the online AI post...
ITS THE FUTURE! AND THE FUTURE IS TERMINATOR!
This is at least the 3rd SkyNet related post in the last month. I'm sure there have been more. eep!
However unless some very stupid programmer writes something into the code which makes us (all human kind) a threat then we're fine. But really thats what the three (or five) laws are for (no matter what Will Smith's I, Robot had to say about it).
If a being becomes sentient would it be possible for it to reprogramme itself?
