Localism

Agree

No

Localism advocates for decisions and investments that empower local communities and prioritize their well-being. Investing heavily in AI for defense applications might be seen as contrary to these goals, especially if such investments divert resources from local needs or lead to centralization of power. Localists might prefer investments that support local economies, education, and infrastructure over high-tech defense projects. However, the score is not higher because there might be scenarios where localists see the benefit in defense technologies that protect the community or are developed in collaboration with local entities.

Disagree

Yes

Localism emphasizes the importance of local governance, community decision-making, and self-sufficiency. While not inherently opposed to technological advancement, localists might be skeptical of large-scale government investment in AI for defense due to concerns about centralization of power, potential for misuse, and the prioritization of military spending over community-based initiatives. However, the score is not more negative because localists could see the value in using AI for defense if it directly benefits local communities or enhances their security without undermining local autonomy.
