P.W. Singer in his Ted Talk discussed robotics in warfare and the repercussions that robotics could have on warfare and the perception of war. He presents his reasoning for what he says and it’s either based in history, like his point of there being no permanent first maneuver advantage or it being based in what is presently going on in the field of military robotics, like several projects handling aspects of fully autonomous weapon systems. He also keeps the audience interested with the occasional joke such as the a certain actor that was a governor showing up at your door. He is a military analyst and as such is an expert on how various things impact warfare. He speaks somewhat informally and uses hand gestures to highlight some of his important points. He makes heavy use of visual aids to really show that some of this stuff is real and currently in use. Overall he warns of the dangers that this leap in technology could bring, such as a decrease in the consequences of war. He also discusses how rapidly drones may advance due to advances in computer sciences. He also talks about how other countries are developing drones and how non-state aggressors can also gain access to drones. He does a good job of discussing a complex and constantly changing topic.
