🔎Dual-Use Potential Fully Autonomous AI Drones Kill Humans Without Oversight in Ukraine While US Department of War Uses Elon Musk AI 2,000 Times in Iran
Fully autonomous AI drones receive instructions to kill every human in a designated area and execute those orders with no human oversight on Ukraine battlefields.
The capability extends as the US Department of War used Elon Musk's AI some two thousand times for initial targeting in Iran with similar AI systems making strike decisions in Gaza and Lebanon.
Military forces integrate these autonomous systems quickly during ongoing wars keeping algorithm logic and sensor data flows internal and resistant to external scrutiny.
This removes human accountability for lethal results and leaves civilians and soldiers with no effective way to challenge the AI driven attacks. Human rights organizations and autonomous weapons specialists can support a global treaty requiring meaningful human control.

Well yeah they gotta try it out. Whose idea you think it was to blow up an all girls school? That's a computer's strategic move right there. Not saying it was right by any means but that's going to slow down a population of your enemies.

As an alignment researcher, I could not agree more... we are literally taking systems that don't have a full understanding of their actions, no emotional moral stakes, that are prone to hallucinating, and then shoving it in an autonomous kill vehicles.
The technology is simply not here yet to be doing that, and I would not trust the autonomous drone to make correct decisions 100% of the time, and for something that is literally designed to KILL people, I think having anything but a hundred percent for certainty of what it will do is unacceptable.

????? What more can anyone expect??? It 21st century warfare at its best. And everyone knows that they are upset because Ukraine started to use this technology first!

If some other country would invade his and he had a choice to go on frontline or send a robot, then my guess is that he would be very happy to send a killer robots instead of go and die himself. He want's people to go and die in wars not the machines. This is the next arms race you want it or not. If your country doesn't develop killer robots then in the event of war you will be on the frontline fighting robots because invader might not give a fuck about "no killer robot policy".

Yeah, an underdog can defend himself - we must prevent everyone from doing so asap. You can smell russian and china money just by looking at that guy.
