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
@9LQWKSN3mos3MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Yes
@9LKJH9V3mos3MO
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.
@9M3KVCG3mos3MO
Only some weapons... ... and I think that they should be able to be guided by artificial AND human intelligence - human intelligence first.
@9LFRY89Independent4mos4MO
Yes, but only when the artificial intelligence is completely ready and foolproof, and it shouldn't be used for all weapons.
@SablevargGreen 5 days5D
Yes, but only to refine targeting. AI isn't ready for autonomous targeting with an extreme risk of collateral.
Yes, but only after rigorous testing has taken place to reduce errors to levels below human-controlled operation
@9QZN98Z1wk1W
Yes, as long as appropriate safeguards and testing is in place and the ultimate decision making still remains with a human.
@9QWBV63CA Common Sense2wks2W
Yes only if the ai can target opposing armies and only opposing armies better than the average human.
@9PDGQ571mo1MO
Yes, but the AI should be fully controlled and all the possible outcomes should be thought of and planned just in case something goes wrong.
@9PBTGR5Republican1mo1MO
Yes, absolutely. But if countries abuse these weapons then the US should no longer supply them with this technology.
@9P9GHJ91mo1MO
Yes, but only on the basis that it can operate with an accuracy rating higher than human accuracy in whichever sector that it functions in.
@9NXW9RJ 2mos2MO
after we test the effectiveness of AI-guided weapons, only if it is proven effective with the desired effect
@9N8KWYB2mos2MO
they could but they should also keep in mind to not let artificial intelligence get full power over them
@9N63MWKRepublican2mos2MO
Yes, but only if AI is strictly under our control for future purposes and not likely to overthrow humanity.
@9MV74CGRepublican2mos2MO
It depends, if the ai has been tested a multitude of times and is proven to work, then yes, if not, then no.
@9MTY9H5Republican2mos2MO
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 2mos2MO
Ya'll ready for Skynet?
@9MNBW3W2mos2MO
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.
@9MGL3BT2mos2MO
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.
@9MFBRSL2mos2MO
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
@9M8TVL83mos3MO
We cannot fully rely on Artificial Intelligence as it continuously evolves and still has room for error.
@9LG93KY4mos4MO
they should work in tandem with the AI. using one over the other can cause human error or problems within the AI itself.
@9LG8Y7S4mos4MO
yes but only when artificial intelligence is at its peak and will be the least likely to malfunction and or make mistakes
@9LG7G924mos4MO
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.
@9LG65NM4mos4MO
No, because current AI technology can be unpredictable and errors that could happen would be devastating.
@9LFWLG64mos4MO
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.
@9LFWJ2FConstitution4mos4MO
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.
@9LFW34W4mos4MO
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.
@9LFV9QBRepublican4mos4MO
for some things yes other things no. I think missiles and icbms yes but aviation vehicles like planes and helicopters no.
@9LFTS4J4mos4MO
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.
@9LFSZGP4mos4MO
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.
@9LFRCDL4mos4MO
El crear una Nueva inteligencia para armas Seria completamente una locura por que estariamos enfatizando El crear Nueva Guerras aun que fueran usadas para defensa
@9LFQZ794mos4MO
Maybe, that's like fighting a war with technology not people--which I am on board with but at the same time wars are a people issue not a technology issue and there is no point in a war where you loose nothing but fake intelligence.
@9LFQ9924mos4MO
Yes, but only when the technology gets more accurate along with having a human along side it to make sure everything run smooth.
@9LFLJKF4mos4MO
as long as it has been well tested and we know for a fact it wont turn on us and try and kill us like that one movie.
@9LFLJC6Republican4mos4MO
In some instances, they are beneficial; however, in the majority of cases, AI should not be used in the military.
@9LFLF384mos4MO
Possibly for certain tasks but none that actually interfere with humans. AI could be used for defense but not for actual shooting.
@9LFL4F2Republican4mos4MO
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.
@9LFJ3TH4mos4MO
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.
@9LFJ2LHRepublican4mos4MO
I believe we should implement it under certain causes because the world is becoming more advanced every day.
@9LFHGYYRepublican4mos4MO
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.
@9LFFLVH4mos4MO
Only if the AI was tested multiples times to be secured and not hacked by a foreign enemy who wants to destroy America.
@93XKLHN 4mos4MO
Yes, as long as there is always a human in the loop that makes the final judgement on the use of the weapon.
@9LF9SH4 4mos4MO
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.
@9LF4V594mos4MO
probably not man i feel like they would do some mean things to us if we pissed em off yk what im saying?
@9LF2MS94mos4MO
Yes, HOWEVER, the AI should be heavily trained and processed first before actually putting it on the field. PERFECT IT FIRST
