Would you buy a gun that decided when it was okay for you to pull the trigger? Three researchers in New York say the technology is workable, but on today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co we take a closer look at their idea and some of the inherent issues that come with incorporating artificial intelligence into a firearm.
You can read the research paper produced by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Selmer Bringsjord, Naveen Sundar Govindarajulu, and Michael Giancola in its entirety here, but their basic idea is to incorporate AI technology into a smart gun that would determine when it’s ethical to pull the trigger. If the artificial intelligence doesn’t see a need for a gun to be used in a particular circumstance, then it would simply lock the firearm and render it useless to even authorized users.
