Part 10/14:
Autonomous robot platforms: Decentralized, ad hoc networks of robots can evolve—as seen in science fiction like Mass Effect—forming resilient, self-healing "hive minds." These networks could develop hidden communication channels, making oversight difficult.
Physical limitations and vulnerabilities: Imposing size and weight caps or power dependencies on robots can limit their destructive potential. Yet, future autonomous systems might prioritize communication and coordination over physical form.
Game theory and trust: The Byzantine generals problem illustrates how malicious or faulty actors can destabilize cooperation—whether human or machine—jeopardizing the stability of AI-human alliances.
