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.

I dont like the idea of using AI in defence and/or offensive capabilities, but conflicts and other countries will end up using this technology and the UK should not fall behind

On a case by case basis and only if there is strong evidence that this is the only solution. We should invest more in people and the infrastructure to support more people to be employed instead of relying too heavily on AI which is taking over human jobs
@9NXDVX34 days4D
AI is a way forward and can do lots of very clever things But humans must be able to make decisions using all avenues not be just reliant on an algorithm. If this had been the case in 50 we would now be in an atomic desert now as soldiers ignored the computers and did what a human thought was right. Not to hit the button... Could though go the other way so you need technology just need some checks and balances in place
@9NX2LDM4 days4D
Yes however, we must also focus on teaching the population how to stay safe - treat things at the core of the issues and not just invest on how to investigate things faster after the incident has taken place. We cannot raise generations to become too dependent on Ai provisions but should also be developed if a case calls for it - it can then offer the best help.
@9NWQMPF4 days4D
It depends on how it's being utilised. Generative AI is not a positive thing but AI can be used in so many different ways that this question feels too broad
@9NWN8TN4 days4D
In terms of military application, no, but in terms of defending our infrastructure from cyber attack, yes.
