Washington,
The use of robots in the modern world is constantly increasing in various fields. Robots are starting to dominate everything from manufacturing industries, to intelligence technology, to medicine. Research is also underway on the use of robots in the military.
In this situation, the San Francisco Police Department in the United States is planning to use robots in unusual environments. In recent years, the number of shootings in the United States has been increasing, where innocent civilians and school children are being killed.
Thus a special armed police force is used to deal with those who pose a danger to the public in public places. San Francisco police have applied for permission to use robots in this section to kill people in unusual situations such as terrorist attacks and riots.
There are also plans to involve robots in executions. But the San Francisco City Council opposed the application. It has been reported that there is no place in the policy to use robots against humans.
However, the San Francisco Police Department has reapplied with some revisions to the draft, and a vote on whether or not to approve it will be held on the 29th.
The San Francisco Police Department already has 17 robots that are being used for more challenging tasks, including searching for bombs. In this case, various human rights organizations are strongly condemning this attempt of the San Francisco Police.
