# The Kill Decision Shouldn’t Belong to a Robot

If you haven’t read any of Danny’s books, this might just ruin your day. Welcome to the world of anonymous warfare and autonomous robotic weapons — with you and me on the receiving end of it. “As a novelist, Daniel Suarez spins dystopian tales of the future. But on the TEDGlobal stage, he talks us through a real-life scenario we all need to know more about: the rise of autonomous robotic weapons of war. Advanced drones, automated weapons and AI-powered intelligence-gathering tools, he suggests, could take the decision to make war out of the hands of humans.”
