  24       <div class="date">21st November 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular.  The most
  26 know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
  27 people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
  28 trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
  29 forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue.  I am sure it
  30 is just a question of time before "bad drones" are in the hands of
  31 private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
  32 too.  The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous.  To have
  33 some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
  34 TED talk
  35 "<a href="https://archive.org/details/DanielSuarez_2013G">The kill
  36 decision shouldn't belong to a robot</a>", where he suggested this
  37 little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:</p>
  38
  39 <blockquote>
  40
  41 <p>Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
  42 I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
  43 through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
  44 aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
  45 download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
  46 vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
  47 historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
  48 to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
  49 own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
  50 presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
  51 drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.</p>
  52
  53 <p>But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
  54 would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
  55 and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.</p>
  56
  57 </blockquote>
  58
  59 <p>The key is that <em>every citizen</em> should be able to read the
  60 radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
  61 both the government and others use of drones.  For such control to be
  62 effective, everyone must be able to do it.  What should such beacon
  63 contain?  At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
  64 location.  Probably also the origin and target position of the current
  65 flight.  And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
  66 the drone in a central database tracking their movement.  Robots
  67 should not have privacy.  It is people who need privacy.</p>
