Roy Cooper

Very strongly agree

Yes, but with very strict oversight and regulations

Cooper has a track record of advocating for regulation and oversight in areas involving new technology and public safety, such as his support for cybersecurity initiatives and data privacy protections in North Carolina. He would almost certainly insist on strict oversight and regulations for AI in defense, aligning with Democratic priorities on technology and ethics.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only to assist and not replace human decision making

Cooper would likely support using AI to assist, but not replace, human decision-making in defense, reflecting his cautious approach to automation and technology in sensitive areas. This aligns with mainstream Democratic concerns about the risks of fully autonomous weapons and the need for human accountability.

Agree

Yes

Roy Cooper, as a moderate Democrat and governor of North Carolina, has generally supported technological innovation and federal investment in research, but he has also emphasized the importance of ethical considerations and oversight. While he would likely support government investment in AI for defense to maintain national security, he would not do so without reservations about oversight and ethical implications.

Agree

No, we need more testing in controlled environments first

While Cooper would support oversight and testing, he is not known for advocating a moratorium or significant delays on technology deployment if national security is at stake. He might support more testing, but not as a prerequisite to all investment, so he would only mildly agree with this answer.

Strongly disagree

No

Cooper has not taken anti-defense or anti-technology stances historically. He has supported military installations in North Carolina and has advocated for responsible innovation. A flat 'no' to AI investment in defense would be inconsistent with his pragmatic and centrist approach.
