Having written a question set for UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine, I poked around and discovered that UNKNOWN was a ... collection of Netflix documentaries. Not a series as such; a collection. Having written question sets for documentaries regarding AI and robots, Killer Robots intrigued me.
This is the most disquieting documentary I pursued. But enlightening, and important. There is a dark side to technological developments. There always have been. The techno-optimists do their best to marginalize those downsides, but that doesn't make them go away.
Deep in the heart of the military-industrial complex, a new kind of soldier is being developed. AI-powered robots are changing the face of warfare, and increasingly making their own decisions on the battlefield. This film follows the soldiers and scientists racing to build these technologies, and the activists on a mission to expose their dangerous potential.
