The U.S. government recently announced plans to incorporate artificial intelligence into troop command systems, a move that promises enhanced efficiency and responsiveness. However, news of OpenAI tightening its safety protocols raises a critical question: how much trust can we place in technologies still needing refinement and protection against potential threats?
Despite advancements in safety, even cutting-edge AI systems remain vulnerable to manipulation or errors. In military operations, such failures could be catastrophic. This begs the question: is it justified to entrust such sensitive functions to algorithms, no matter how advanced?
Integrating AI into the military isn’t just a step toward the future — it’s a decision demanding rigorous risk assessment. Given past failures with innovations in other fields, can we rely on AI when national security is at stake?
Should the US allow a corporation to fully integrate itself into critical infastructure that makes life or death decisions?
Decisions should only be made by drunken political wannabes.
Looking at the US educating system and their skills in voting for presidents, i think AI will actually be an improvement.
do two wrongs make a right?
