Report: Pentagon Moving Toward Letting AI Weapons Autonomously Decide To Kill Humans

Citing an article at the New York Times, the Business Insider reported that the Pentagon is working to deploy swarms of thousands of artificial-intelligence (AI) drones.  But there’s more.

According to the Business Insider:

Frank Kendall, the Air Force secretary, told The Times that AI drones will need to have the capability to make lethal decisions while under human supervision.

Individual decisions versus not doing individual decisions is the difference between winning and losing — and you’re not going to lose,” he said.

“I don’t think people we would be up against would do that, and it would give them a huge advantage if we put that limitation on ourselves.”

Scary.

The report went on to say that Ukraine has already deployed AI drones in its fight against Russia, but it’s not known if they have been responsible for any human casualties.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The report also observed:

The use of the so-called “killer robots” would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.

Indeed.  Can you say, “Skynet?”

Heh…

Of course not.  (roll eyes…)

Indeed…

It’s not just you…

Sure seems that way.

I remember that movie…

If only…

Exit question: What could possibly go  wrong?
