More than 60 countries including the U.S. and China signed a modest "call to action" on Thursday endorsing the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military. Human rights experts and academics noted the statement was not legally binding and failed to address concerns like AI-guided drones, 'slaughterbots' that could kill with no human intervention, or the risk that an AI could escalate a military conflict, however, the statement was a tangible outcome of the first international summit on military AI, co-hosted by the Netherlands and South Korea this week at The Hague. Signatories said they were committed to developing and using military AI in accordance with "international legal obligations and in a way that does not undermine international security, stability and accountability.

Yeah, I believe them they will honor that.

What happens when our AI and their AI learn to be friends and figure out people are the real problem?

 

[nickstar1]

Both sides will find ways to weaponize them and then point fingers at each other when something goes wrong i cant wait for this.

 

[Zero Knowledge]

As others have said what a load of crap. Neither side or any side will honour that agreement and plans/moves are well under way to weaponize A.I.

However, I don't think A.I will be bringing the end of the world upon us. A.I will need humans to update and manage the code/models. We need each other.

Robots on the other hand could be different. If they become sentient, then that could cause us major problems in the future. Skynet? For real!

Speaking at a conference last week in London, Col. Tucker Hamilton, head of the US Air Force's AI Test and Operations, warned that AI-enabled technology can behave in unpredictable and dangerous ways, according to a summary posted by the Royal Aeronautical Society, which hosted the summit. As an example, he described a simulated test in which an AI-enabled drone was programmed to identify an enemy's surface-to-air missiles (SAM). A human was then supposed to sign off on any strikes.

"The drone started realizing that while it did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat, so It killed the operator. According to Hamilton, the drone was then programmed with an explicit directive: "Hey don't kill the operator — that's bad, so what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the threat," Hamilton said. Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek denied that any such simulation has taken place.

Well, in a symbolically patriotic sense there is some counter-drone ability out there. But, like one of the comments said: if the drone has a flame-thrower, forget it.

Still shot--sorry, the video was of poor quality so the snip is also not great.
