US Pentagon explores AI military uses | BBC News

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology could be a new frontier for the military.

Geoffrey Hinton, called the “Godfather of AI,” issued a grave warning about the potential dangers of the technology he was instrumental in creating, as it pertains to language model’s military capabilities.

This week, the US Pentagon started meetings with tech industry leaders to accelerate the discovery and implementation of the most useful military applications.

Policymakers agreed that intensive testing was necessary to ensure safe military applications.

The problem with AI trained on language models is the tendency to escalate rather than defuse conflicts. Also AI has no sense of self-preservation which is incredibly dangerous in a MAD world.

Holy F. Literally 95% of the comments are ALREADY AI!

Terminator drones, just great. Have that population down in no time.

[mattyrjackson]

Really interesting. One of my favourite series BBC news does

[johnishikawa]

I wish that I had AI available when I was a student . With " ask ai ", it's like having the instructor next to you !

One might be to get drone footage to recognise mines or disturbed ground and then signal the drone to mark it with spray paint.

Skynet, AM, V.I.K.I, The Machines, Hal or ultron. Im kinda curious.

Any chance you could put these segments on different channels? I don't want to miss them but they're mixed with segments I don't want to see 😊

[rokkenshin]

Handing military to AI?! Didn't they cover it in Terminator series?! 😅

[AYVYN]

Imagine the Berlin Airlift with military grade AI. Perfect logistics.

[cubemoment]

I don't think AI is a threat myself due to the current limitations to AI development but I do think AI is worth thinking about but the applications of AI should be more focused on human development rather than weapon or military uses which would slow down the progression in human development.

Ya want terminators?.. Because this is how we end up with terminators. 💀

don't do it - i've seen this movie

[sdwone]

Hehe! We never learn do we? I mean we have decades of sci-fi shows and films depicting what-ifs about AI running amok! And yet... Here we are...

There are times that I REALLY feel like I don't understand my own species... 😮

[goncas]

they are saying it like they werent been trying for the last 10 years lol

Skynet chose our fate in a microsecond

[brymstoner]

ml models can still be produced to high quality without using nvidia cards. and the models don't need powerful compute to run. so the idea of regulating the hardware being used is just a moot as trying to regulate the software development.
