Day late and a dollar short?
https://www.pcmag.com/news/taser-drone-grounded-after-companys-ethics-board-resignsAxon is hitting pause on its plan to use taser-equipped drones to stop school shootings after a majority of its AI ethics board resigned in protest.
On Monday, nine of the 14 members resigned, claiming the company ignored consulting Axon’s AI ethics board about the taser-equipped drones.
“The Taser-equipped drone also has no realistic chance of solving the mass shooting problem Axon now is prescribing it for, only distracting society from real solutions to a tragic problem,” the resigning board members wrote(Opens in a new window) in a public resignation letter.
The resignations arrive days after Axon, a provider of body cameras and tasers, introduced the drone as a potential solution to America’s mass shooting problem. The air-based bot is armed with a taser, which can be remotely firmed to incapacitate a live shooter. Although the project is meant to be a concept, the company originally planned on launching a “full solution” by 2024
