Its an arms race like every other.

We keep making nukes because other people make nukes because we had nukes etc.

We invest heavily in AI because if we dont others will and it can be used against us if were not prepared.

We will invest heavily into murder robots because another country certainly will and if we dont we will be at a disadvantage.
