AI in defense refers to the use of artificial intelligence technologies to enhance military capabilities, such as autonomous drones, cyber defense, and strategic decision-making. Proponents argue that AI can significantly enhance military effectiveness, provide strategic advantages, and improve national security. Opponents argue that AI poses ethical risks, potential loss of human control, and can lead to unintended consequences in critical situations.
@7YS3KJPIndependent 13hrs13H
Yes, but I think they should be very careful and consult / hire the right people to do this. Many things have gone wrong from people working with technologies they don't fully understand how specify or optimize.
@LucidLibertarian 1 day1D
No, there are too many risks involved. When a human makes a mistake that harms or kills others, they can be held accountable for it. It is impossible to hold AI accountable for harmful or deadly mistakes.
@9N9L4W93 days3D
Yes, provided this is used as a means of protecting the most critical aspects of the military infrastructure and has been vetted through several phases of development and trials.
@9N92GYS3 days3D
Yes, but only once AI is better understood and regulated to account for ethical risks and other potential unintended consequences
@9N8629DIndependent 3 days3D
Yes, but with high levels of testing and insurances for ethically created AI that is free of human biases and hatred.
@9N6WNH54 days4D
I agree to disagree because I feel as if AI can often be wrong. AI can be very beneficial but also cause many complications leading to larger problems than we began with.
@9N589VHIndependent4 days4D
Yes, if humans are making final decisions for strategic decision-making. AI is likely already used in some capacity.
@9MTZNC41wk1W
Yes, but only if AI is first adequately regulated and its impact is fully understood to prevent potential misuse or unforeseen consequences
@9MSTKDB1wk1W
Yes but needs testing for proof that it is more effective than humans as well as employed with unbiased/ethical considerations
@9MRLRH2Republican1wk1W
it could be looked into but only it small amounts our defense system should remain mostly human run.
@9MPNYMJ2wks2W
No, unless the company that develops the AI is thoroughly vetted for bias in the training data of its AI
@9KWXHJM 2wks2W
Regardless, AI should not be used for strategic desicion-making
@9MN3J6G2wks2W
AI should be used IF NEEDED, but the potential loss of human control is a fearful consequence.
@9MN3HZG 2wks2W
Yes, especially because other nations are likely to use AI to improve their defenses as well. However, to address potential loss of human control, it should be outlined more clearly what will be the purpose of AI and which jobs will be impacted.
@9MMY27HWomen’s Equality 2wks2W
No, AI has a chance to be hacked and altered by hackers which would not be really safe for the nation to put on the defense.
@9K99V29 2wks2W
Yes, but they shouldn't be tested in public nor should these defense applications have complete autonomy
@9MMS9KT2wks2W
No, the government should regulate AI so it doesn't get out of control
@9MMHBFP2wks2W
depends on the reliability of the AI, and if that is the most feasible investment to make
@SenBR2003 2wks2W
Yes, but AI must first be used in a pilot project to give a clearer idea how it may affect our military capabilities.
@9MM99YL2wks2W
First is important invest in cyber security and how viable it would be use IA
@9MM7NMZ2wks2W
I think it again would be good to incorperate ideas of an artificial intelligence program, but I don't think we should become to reliant because that c ould cause more problems.
@9MM76Y52wks2W
It depends on what the application is being utilized for
No, artificial intelligence isn't completely accurate and it shouldn't be something that is relied on.
@9MM6FRHConstitution2wks2W
Not unless the AI itself is impartial in who/what it targets.
@9MM5PH42wks2W
Yes, but increase oversight with strict regulations.
@9MM585G2wks2W
We should invest in AI but we have to give access to people who actually want to better certain aspects of the world and not fall in the hands of corrupted people
@9MM4BH62wks2W
Only when AI has reached a certain level of sophistication.
@9MM2TC52wks2W
I feel like it should be private companies that are doing the research, so that there will be more job openings in that field.
@9MLZRDV2wks2W
Maybe, If its built for it it could be good but it could malfunction
@9MLZQLY2wks2W
Ai can be lethal, in terms of defense i support certain aspects but any control over said defense is uncomfortable.
@9MLXJHR2wks2W
It can be quite scary when AI comes in to play and if they start using AI for protection we won't need the military, air force, Navy, and etc. and they won't get paid for their services anymore/
@9MLXGN82wks2W
I think AI should be used for somethings. But not for all the defensive because if the enemy gets control of the AI they could use that to beat us.
Yes, but the gov't should see to it that AI is still regulated so it doesn't get out of hand.
@9MLVT8M2wks2W
This is honestly not really a good idea because AI's can malfunction pretty quick
@9MLSBMJ2wks2W
No because it could lead into an unintentional take over and loss of jobs
Yes, but with small steps to make sure it can be properly implemented safely
@9MLK57NWomen’s Equality2wks2W
AI is still in development and needs to be strictly regulated
@9MLHLML2wks2W
Yes, but only for assessment purposes with final approval from human oversight.
@9MLFT882wks2W
Ai artificial intelligence should be forever banned
@9MLF5VJ2wks2W
No, I think that will eventually ruin our world and take over.
@9J2LX9L 2wks2W
Yes, as long as it's strictly regulated and everything is planned.
@9MLC36K2wks2W
I don't think its time for that yet. Not till we have impenetrable net defense.
@9ML8J6BProgressive2wks2W
All military actions can “lead to unintended consequences in critical situations.” Is AI worse than the current methods? Maybe. Find the root causes of conflicts and as they say on “Sesame Street,” “use your words.” We see what violence as a go to solution has wrought. Look at Israel’s defense attacks on Gaza.
@9ML4XBXLibertarian 2wks2W
Yes, but I do not believe the USA should be the world's policeman. Our country needs to keep up with technology to maintain sovereignty.
@9MKZDJ22wks2W
depends on where the ai is applied....faster number crunching for aim with missle defense systems sure, as long as someone is there in case of a system error.
@9MKYNGJ 2wks2W
"AI" is too broad of a term for me to have an opinion on. But, if we are referring to Chat GPT-style AI, then my answer is no.
@9MKM7WZ2wks2W
whether the government should invest in AI for defense applications involves balancing considerations of national security, ethical principles, technological innovation, and societal values, and should be carefully considered in the context of broader discussions about defense policy, diplomacy, and global governance.
@9MK75BXIndependent2wks2W
Wait until more research is done to prove AI's credibility in those types of situations, and if it's found to be beneficial, then it certainly should be added.
