According to a recent Financial Times (FT) report, experts are saying the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly pushing warfare toward a future where machines could one day make lethal decisions on their own.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian forces claimed they took down a Russian fighter jet using missiles launched from an unmanned naval drone.
It was a striking example of how the Ukraine war has become a proving ground for advanced military technologies, especially drones powered by AI, according to the FT.
They already do with tesla self driving vehicles.
It really sucks that we got this war at the same time as ai. If we didn’t have this war, ai weapons would be untested for years in domain of US and China. And even them would probably have a limited number of them, possibly so overengineered that nobody would think of mass scale usage. Now this f**cked up weapon is really a necessity.
Can’t get that star trek TNG episode out of my mind.
