Although it seems that the development of artificial intelligence systems is basically being washed out by companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM ... the truth is that there are more and more companies that equip their teams with this type of technology, including by example those that develop armamento both military and civil. To try to guide manufacturers and especially to avoid problems in the development and commercialization of this type of weapon, the United States National Institute of Justice has created a specific regulation in this sense.
Now, by no means do you think that this type of regulation has been created to stop the development of weapons equipped with artificial intelligenceQuite the contrary, since we are talking about a point that has been demanded for years both by consumer groups and by state and private security departments. As a detail, tell you that despite the lack of legislation, today there are already for sale several pistols and devices that have this type of technology.
After several years of pressure, the United States finally has a specific regulation for weapons equipped with artificial intelligence.
As has been commented from the National Institute of Justice from the United States:
This regulation wants to provide clear guidance to manufacturers about what government buyers require for their firearms. Furthermore, this should serve as a standard against which to identify research and development gaps that exist on current technology.
This project has been designed to provide for the growth of gun safety technology, and it is not required to be adopted by any individual or government agency if it does not want to.
In favor of this new regulation, it should be noted that practically all the guidelines present in it they establish everything that this type of last generation weaponry cannot do. A clear example of one of them is found at the point where it is established that this technology cannot affect the time required by the police officers to draw, point and shoot or limit the criteria of the officers.
