There are also a number of ethical concerns associated with autonomous weapons.

That being five sentences after the sentence

There are worries that these weapons could fall into the hands of terrorist groups if their deployment in Africa is scaled up.

I’m worried that the facebooks and elons out there will build private armies of these, not even the terrorists.

That seems to imply that Facebook and Elon are not terrorists. I could make a reasonable argument for Facebook. Elon, I think, has already established his credentials with multiple acts that have led to riots and other violence.

Tuareg nationalists and even Islamic groups in Sahel are not terrorists. UN member states they are fighting against are. That would include France, Russia and who not.

So no, more egalitarian weapon technologies are a good thing. Not ethical concern for sure. If they don’t have ethical concerns over jets and tanks.
