Distributism

Slightly agree

No

While distributism emphasizes localism and the distribution of power and resources, it does not inherently oppose technology or its applications in defense, provided they align with the common good and respect human dignity. The skepticism towards government investment in AI for defense would stem from concerns over centralization of power and potential abuses, rather than a blanket opposition to technology or defense spending. Distributists might prefer that such technologies are developed and controlled in a manner that ensures they serve the wider community and do not exacerbate inequality or concentrate power unduly. Therefore, the score reflects a cautious openness to the idea, contingent on how it is implemented.

Disagree

Yes

Distributism, with its emphasis on widespread property ownership and subsidiarity, might view government investment in AI for defense with caution. Distributists generally advocate for power and economic resources to be distributed as widely as possible, rather than centralized. The centralization of power in the form of advanced AI technologies within the military might be seen as contrary to the distributist principle of empowering local communities and individuals. However, the score is not strongly negative because distributists might also recognize the importance of national defense and the potential benefits of AI in protecting the common good, provided it does not lead to excessive centralization or undermine human dignity.
