On Earth there is only one species that perform what I would call
"non-essential" killings, and that's us.

Somebody could regard the rest of the species as "dumb" and violence be
a "lateral damage" of intelligence; but there are some fairly =
intelligent
species out there (dolphins, whales, apes, etc) and doesn't exhibit a
behaviour even proportional to us regarding violence.

Perhaps the assumption that a bot would be violent enough to kill =
somebody
is an antropocentric view in itself.
