Slaughterbots(2017)

Slaughterbots is a speculative film exploring a chilling near-future scenario where autonomous killer drones replace nuclear weapons as instruments of mass destruction. UC Berkeley computer science professor Stuart Russell presents a thought experiment about swarms of tiny, weaponized robots capable of decimating entire cities with virtually no defense. The film examines how such technology could destabilize global security and reshape warfare itself. Russell argues that these autonomous systems aren't purely fictional—the underlying technology already exists today. Slaughterbots serves as a stark warning about the convergence of artificial intelligence and military innovation, raising urgent questions about whether humanity can control the weapons it creates before they become unstoppable.
