Int. Law Should Ban A.I. in Combat Robots

Not to far in the future individual combat robots will take urban then suburban and rural battlefields. Instead of sending a Marine through the door in some village looking for insurgent weapons caches a combat robot with ncamera eyes, better than human hearing and bullet proof bomb sniffing capability will knock on the door and enter the abode of potential death. Because of the threat to humanity of independently thinking machines with combat abilities shouldn't all those walking machines be operated by human beings as remotely piloted robots only?

None of the combat robots even if just armed with a machine gun should be able to function independently with an artificial intelligence system for anything other than walking about instructions equivalent to an autonomous nervous system. The robots should be cephalic idiots that collapse without a human operator.

Computer chips allow inventors to make 'god bless you' speech novelties with celebrity voice for use in public when someone sneezes, an lets designers make programmable optical recognition scanners that can read certain fields on a paper and disregard others. Designers of combat robots need to be restrained on finding clever things to put into the programming housing unit of killing search and destroy machines.
