In U.S.-China AI contest, the race is on to deploy killer robots

cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/4892697

Alongside Sydney Harbour, engineers are working on a submarine that will be powered by artificial intelligence and will have no human crew. The project is being driven by a contest between the U.S., its allies and China to develop AI-controlled weapons that will operate autonomously, including warships and fighter jets. The outcome of this competition could determine the global balance of power.

Have none of these people watched, like, any sci-fi movie ever?

Demerzel? That you?

SpeakingColors,

Like, technology is cool. Engineering is cool. Building better weapons to kill each other and strike enough fear to garner compliance has never solved the impetus for their creation: the fear that a human will kill you, so you attempt to kill them first.

It’d be tight if a “rising china” or “rising anyone” meant that we as a global society would benefit from new helpful tech that gave people more choice and autonomy to improve their lives and the ones around them.

TokenBoomer,

Where’s Robocop?

TheFriar,

Robocop? This is Ed-209 shit.

TokenBoomer,

Didn’t Robocop stop him? It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

TheFriar,

Oh I see what you were saying. I thought you were likening this to robocop, not saying, where is robocop so he can put a stop to this.

TokenBoomer,

Like Robocop, I’m always 2 steps ahead?! /s

TheFriar,

Your move, creep.

Whoever thinks autonomous killing machines are a good idea need to be exiled and banned from technology
