Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Lethal autonomous weapons systems use artificial intelligence to identify and kill human targets without human intervention. Russia, the United States and China have all recently invested billions of dollars secretly developing AI weapons systems sparking fears of an eventual “AI Cold War.”In April 2024 +972 Magazine published a report detailing the Israeli Defense Forces intelligence-based program known as “Lavender.” Israeli intel…

No
@9LQWKSN1mo1MO
There are many instances currently where AI is already out of our control, making them in control of weapons would make it even worse and dangerous to us.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Yes
@9LKJH9V2mos2MO
People should be held accountable and be able to visibly see or otherwise understand their actions in war so as to not make sweeping decisions that affect large numbers of lives on a whim.
@9M3KVCG1mo1MO
Only some weapons... ... and I think that they should be able to be guided by artificial AND human intelligence - human intelligence first.
@9LFRY89Independent2mos2MO
Yes, but only when the artificial intelligence is completely ready and foolproof, and it shouldn't be used for all weapons.
@9MV74CGRepublican1wk1W
It depends, if the ai has been tested a multitude of times and is proven to work, then yes, if not, then no.
@9MTY9H5Republican1wk1W
I think that ai should be used for only for things such as air control and water control so we know if anyone is trying to sneak into the US illegally or sneak anything in.
@jwolfsg1590Constitution 2wks2W
Ya'll ready for Skynet?
@9MNBW3W2wks2W
in many cases this will be useful, but can definitely backfire. without it however, others may excel past us if we don't utilize ai for warfare.
@9M8TVL84wks4W
We cannot fully rely on Artificial Intelligence as it continuously evolves and still has room for error.
@9LFJ2LHRepublican2mos2MO
I believe we should implement it under certain causes because the world is becoming more advanced every day.
@9LFHGYYRepublican2mos2MO
The military gets a lot of money poured into it so I'm pretty sure that if they decided to let AI guide them they would be safe.
@9LDX2PX2mos2MO
I think this will eventually happen in the future but right now artificial intelligence is still new and should be further developed before use in the military.
@9MFBRSL3wks3W
To an extent. We should experiment with such weapons and test them in labs, but they shouldn’t be a standard in warfare until more research is conducted to clarify their actual impact
@9MDXLYZ3wks3W
Yes and No. It depends on the weapon being used and the satellite imaging of the location.
Remember … AI has NO conscious and therefore MUST be used ONLY if the intel is absolute. Never again should the words “what difference does it make at this time” be used!
@9MDDFVD3wks3W
They should in a way that complies with laws, no human can beat a ai robot, but ai can be used to protect too.
@9LGC25HPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
I think that if we're going to fight there should not be any assistance from technological advancements however If we don't, other nations will in order to have a advantage over the United States
@9LG8Y7S2mos2MO
yes but only when artificial intelligence is at its peak and will be the least likely to malfunction and or make mistakes
@9LG7G922mos2MO
the use of guided weaponry should be restricted and used less on and in civilian populated areas, however they should be used in the battlefield to restrict human casualties. weaponry should be guided by people and if they're guided by people at a distance if need be but using AI to guide weaponry should pose restrictions based on who its used on, where its used, if its safe to use, ect.
@9LG65NM2mos2MO
No, because current AI technology can be unpredictable and errors that could happen would be devastating.
@9LFWLG62mos2MO
No and NEVER, weapons should ALWAYS, ALWAYS be used and handled by Human Beings. Movies and past events have proven again and again that AI should NEVER EVER be used in anything really, but ESPECIALLY weapons.
@9LFWJ2FConstitution2mos2MO
Yes, but they shouldn't be able to think for themselves, they should just follow the command on where to go, but also know if they messed up, or if the missile is damaged, or any of the above.
No, because there is room for failure in the intention of said AI's programming along with an override.
@9LFW34W2mos2MO
NO! AI is not the solution to everything, and it is not a reliable source of information or solutions to a problem, if you are programming a missile to know where it is and where it isn't that's fine but if you want AI to practically run the Military and to an extent the government then you are setting us up for failure and our downfall.
@9LFV9QBRepublican2mos2MO
for some things yes other things no. I think missiles and icbms yes but aviation vehicles like planes and helicopters no.
@9LFTS4J2mos2MO
Yes, but this artificial intelligence should be an aid, not the end all, be all. There should still be human involvement in the use of weaponry.
@9LFSZGP2mos2MO
Yes and no we have to manage who, what, and how these AI weapons are being controlled because it can be useful but again it can get out of control.
@9LFLJC6Republican2mos2MO
In some instances, they are beneficial; however, in the majority of cases, AI should not be used in the military.
@9LFLF382mos2MO
Possibly for certain tasks but none that actually interfere with humans. AI could be used for defense but not for actual shooting.
@9LFL4F2Republican2mos2MO
yes, to an extent because if AI takes over, people will be out of a job and will not be able to fight for their country
So long as it's tested and proved that inaccuracies and miscalculation should be fine, then sure. Save human lives and keep our men in safety instead of out in the battlefield where they could be hurt.
@9LFJ3TH2mos2MO
Well this would help the safety of soldiers and put less people on the field but what if machines go wrong and cause more distructions and conflict and or when they are very updated they could turn against us yk.
@9LFFLVH2mos2MO
Only if the AI was tested multiples times to be secured and not hacked by a foreign enemy who wants to destroy America.
@93XKLHN 2mos2MO
Yes, as long as there is always a human in the loop that makes the final judgement on the use of the weapon.
@9LF9SH4 2mos2MO
No defense only. Can we make a better shield with the use of aI?Yes, that would be preferable.Can we make a better gun With the use of aI?No that would not be preferable.
@9LF4V592mos2MO
probably not man i feel like they would do some mean things to us if we pissed em off yk what im saying?
@9LF2MS92mos2MO
Yes, HOWEVER, the AI should be heavily trained and processed first before actually putting it on the field. PERFECT IT FIRST
@9LDY8HS2mos2MO
I mean I'm not big on artificial intelligence at all, but if we absolutely need it then yes. Especially because the world is becoming more advanced everyday.
@9LDY5H82mos2MO
NO! AI is not the solution to everything and it is not a reliable source of information or solutions to a problem, if you are programming a missile to know where it is and where it isn't that's fine but if you want AI to practically run the Military and to an extent the government then you are setting us up for failure and our downfall.
@9LDT7Q32mos2MO
Depends on the machinery or weapon. Heavy equipment like jets and tanks no, but kamikazi drones yes.
@igeryuIndependent 2mos2MO
Not until we can be 100% confident that only intended targets will be harmed, even if that is not attainable anytime soon
@9MGL3BT3wks3W
Not exclusively, i.e. there should always be a human in charge to override any AI's programming. AI should be used to provide valuable data and recommendations on making decision, not for making decisions themselves without oversight.
@9LGGFRB2mos2MO
Absolutely not, at some point we will reach the singularity point and it will be too late. If we advance like this in war it will lead to more war.
@9LGDCYHWomen’s Equality2mos2MO
I feel like using these weapons are ok until people who aren’t included in the situation are effected.
@9LGCZRZ2mos2MO
Current artificial intelligence technology is still in early development, using them now would risk accidental harms to civilian and infrastructure.
@9LGCZNB2mos2MO
Yes, however the AI should be supervised and have to have it's actions approved by a human individual or group before it acts.
@9LGC39W2mos2MO
Yes and no because you don't kno0w what could happen ai is not always reliable but could be a helpful source.
@9LGB9FKIndependent2mos2MO
Yes, but only if used with things such as targeting systems in tandem with a human professional. No weapon should be controlled soley by an AI that chooses who, when, or where to open fire.
@9LG9H9Q2mos2MO
i think they should use a.i because there smarter however we shoud try to not give them to much power
