Moderate Liberal

Very strongly agree

Yes, but with very strict oversight and regulations

This answer aligns most closely with moderate liberal values: support for technological advancement in defense, but only with strong oversight and regulation to prevent abuses. This reflects positions taken by moderate Democrats in Congress, who have advocated for AI investment with robust ethical frameworks, as seen in the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence's 2021 recommendations.

Strongly agree

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

Moderate liberals are likely to agree with using AI as an assistive tool rather than a replacement for human judgment, especially in life-and-death military decisions. This reflects concerns raised after incidents like the 2015 U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan, where human oversight was critical, and echoes calls for 'meaningful human control' in AI weapon systems.

Agree

No, we need more testing in controlled environments first

Moderate liberals would be sympathetic to a cautious, evidence-based approach, supporting more testing before deployment. This is consistent with their general preference for risk mitigation and regulatory frameworks, as seen in their support for pilot programs and phased rollouts in other high-stakes technologies (e.g., body cameras in policing).

Agree

Yes

Moderate liberals generally support government investment in technology for national security, but they are also concerned about ethical implications and oversight. While they recognize the need to keep pace with global competitors (e.g., China, Russia), they are wary of unchecked military AI development, as seen in debates over autonomous weapons at the UN and concerns raised by groups like the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.

Disagree

No

A flat 'no' to AI investment in defense is generally too absolutist for moderate liberals, who tend to favor pragmatic approaches that balance security needs with ethical considerations. Historically, moderate liberals have supported defense innovation (e.g., Obama-era investments in cybersecurity and drone technology) but with calls for oversight.
