The Pentagon Is Accelerating AI and Autonomous Technology America’s military leaders are racing to deploy thousands of autonomous weapons and an AI-powered air monitoring system for Washington D.C.
There is also a danger that the kill switch command could be leaked to the Russians or the Chinese who would use it to shut down the USA’s defenses just before a full scale invasion of a now defenseless USA.
I don’t think the robots are the only military America would have. The military is kind of their thing.
Maybe can we take a step back and ask whether we need thousands of AI defense bots at all? Or are we past that point?
How is it that when it comes to reckless ideas and notions Congress takes millions of years and the Pentagon takes no more than three business days to implement?
Realistically, who’s gonna stop them?
Autonomous drones made by China have been used in Papua New Guinea to bomb at least one village so I think the US is actually behind the curve in terms of the AI arms race.
This is one of those classical sci-fi apocalypse ideas, where humans make autonomous war machines they can’t turn off, and the machines outlive the humans and continue the war for them.
Most people in this thread need to learn the difference between AI and AGI
and an AI-powered air monitoring system for Washington D.C.
This is the most troubling to me. They’re entrenching themselves. They already wrapped razor wire and concrete walls around the white house. Now they’re deploying military assets on US soil.
They have been deploying military equipment for decades now on US soil, under the guise of police.
The new development here is that this system depends on far fewer humans and their consciousness.
No. Such a thing would only be a good idea if you want the enemy to be able to turn your shit off when they please.
You’re thinking of ‘AI’, as something intelligent that can go rogue. Current and near future that’s just sci fi.
Military AI is already going rogue. It doesn’t need general intelligence to act unpredictably.
That wasn’t actually a simulation. It is solely a thought experiment. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65789916
