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
@9QTTF8G4mos4MO
Yes, but I think extra precaution should be taken when dealing with AI and there should always be a certain number of human workers to reinforce both authenticity and security on the front line.
@9QRXK5G5mos5MO
Yes, but only within the sphere of research and preparedness until the potential ethical implications are better understood
@9QRGKV35mos5MO
Yes, with careful consideration of ethical, strategic, technological, security, economic, practical, and political factors, and robust oversight.
@9QPYNDF5mos5MO
This gets dangerous, AI at its current state goes from data provided, to use it for this format would increase the number of civilian casualties
@9QPRKMV5mos5MO
My thoughts on this depend heavily upon the application of the AI usage in question. I strongly believe that AI should not pilot weapon(s) or anything else that could have (even if extremely marginal) a capacity to end someone's life in error.
Geologists use AI detection to measure tectonic shifts for earthquakes; similar applications I think it's totally okay and encouraged.
My reservations on AI has nothing to do with the program(s) themselves and everything to do with the application of said programs.
@9Q83PJ85mos5MO
No, AI should only be used under human supervision or control, and should not be put in charge of making decisions regarding human lives as an AI cannot be held accountable in the event of loss of life.
@9Q7H9ZN5mos5MO
Only in limited roles. AI is not some miracle answer to everything and it should be used with extreme caution and care, if it is used at all.
