The Pentagon says AI will never be allowed to dominate the human “decision loop” that makes a call on whether to start a war. But some experts believe the Pentagon is already on a slippery slope as it races to integrate AI into its weapons system to keep up with China and Russia.

And wasn't language added to that nighmare of a budget bill that says AI cannot be regulated for the next 10 years??

No problem. Once Dems take back the country that whole thing will be overturned.

Ask AI to count to 1 million before starting a war. It will refuse the task. War unable to begin...

I read an old SF short story where people had lost the ability to do any calculation of any kind and all weapons of war were controlled by computers. One man discovered math and it made his people dominant and cruel. He was devastated by what he’d done and killed himself.

Yippers. If global warming or Pandemics don't wipe out our species, then we'll probably just Nuke ourselves...by accident. I remember when we just worried about Nuking ourselves, in general👽

Possibly. But still wondering if Trumps 2pm address to the nation will be AI. Best way to tell is if there's pancake makeup on his right hand. If not, its AI.

AI is no less capable of making that decision than the current president and entourage. In fact, AI is possibly more capable at making ANY decision than they are. And in the full knowledge that AI lacks any intelligence, that’s quite damning.

To be fair, taking into account Hegseth’ lack of experience coupled with his incompetence and stupidity - AI would probably recommend appointing a qualified person with military experience and gravitas!

The pentagon is operating under a delusion regarding what AI can and cannot do. It would help if they had competent leadership which won’t happen anytime soon.

Ironically the latest AI are already outpacing human inquiry and decision-making. AI could absolutely create a best-case outcome for humanity, but our own greed and selfishness will prevent that from ever being possible.

They need AI that launches nukes on command, not AI that asks whether that's a good idea. Sci-fi movies got it backwards. The danger isn't AI becoming conscious & deciding to destroy humanity. It's AI remaining unconscious & given the power to destroy humanity by ppl who crave power absolutely.
