Ex.6. Read the text and answer the question: What is the former US ambassador to Moscow Thomas J. Watson worried about?

“I am also worried about another thing: the high-tech control of the Star Wars programmes makes the system practically autonomous. Computers will make independent decisions in a matter of one or two minutes. But what about the American constitution, which says that only the US President can decide to declare war? He would simply have no time for that, the computer would do it for him. That’s what we are coming to, creating this very situation, ourselves”.
