Statism

Strongly agree

Yes

Statism, which emphasizes the role of the state in governing and directing the lives of its citizens, often supports strong national defense mechanisms. Investing in artificial intelligence for defense applications aligns with the statist ideology's emphasis on maintaining state power and security. Historically, statist regimes have prioritized advancements in military and defense technologies as a means to protect the state and assert its dominance. For example, during the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union, driven by their respective statist and authoritarian ideologies, heavily invested in technological advancements for defense, including early forms of computer technology and AI research, to ensure their global supremacy and security.

Strongly disagree

No

Statism's core principle revolves around strengthening the state and its capabilities, often including its military and defense sectors. The ideology's support for a powerful, interventionist state suggests a natural inclination towards investing in technologies that can enhance national security and defense capabilities. Therefore, opposing investment in AI for defense applications would contradict the typical statist approach of leveraging technological advancements to bolster state power and security. While there may be concerns about ethical implications or potential misuse of AI, the overarching statist perspective prioritizes national security and state interests, making opposition to such investments unlikely.
