Self-thinking Drones

The pentagon wants a computer that doesn't just thinks for itself but it thinks for a drone. The possible benefits will be a huge jump in artificial technology and the use of technology helping to make decision by processing massive amounts of information and conflicting factors that we as people would have trouble doing. The downfall of this is self thinking drones can cause massive amounts of damage and unnecessary death. This could be a dangerous idea and a total misuse of artificial intelligence.

I only have one issue with the program, so if they could remove my fears here this is an awesome jump in technology. People have the ability to weigh emotions and the spread of damage beyond that of death. I am afraid that these programs will lack compassion and because of that this could be highly dangerous.
