Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Lethal autonomous weapons systems use artificial intelligence to identify and kill human targets without human intervention. Russia, the United States and China have all recently invested billions of dollars secretly developing AI weapons systems sparking fears of an eventual “AI Cold War.”In April 2024 +972 Magazine published a report detailing the Israeli Defense Forces intelligence-based program known as “Lavender.” Israeli intel…

I feel like the development of this technology comes with time and experimenting, so we should give it a few years.
@9W2QDRF6mos6MO
Yes, but there should be checks and balances to it
@9W222F26mos6MO
yes, once the artificial intelligence has advanced enough.
@9VF4NS97mos7MO
Yes, but only is it is more accurate than it is under human's control.
@9RBY87R9mos9MO
The military should maintain technological pace with our allies
@9QZCYDN9mos9MO
Not entirely guided. And also not complete total AI that can think for itself like a human. Otherwise I think it'd be effective
@9QRJNMW9mos9MO
Yes, but only if there is always a human kept in the decision making loop.
Yes, if only it will decrease the risk of hurting civilians.
@9Q7YMJZ10mos10MO
Yes, but only with appropriate oversight and against specific military targets
@9LHXK8GConservative1yr1Y
Not at this time, and not until unbiased third parties review the technology further and there is more scientific consensus.
@9LGCYKF1yr1Y
we will eventually just be creating insane fighting robots we would need to use nuculear weapons to destroy them just to be safe. this will definitely mislead wars and be way to unsafe.
@B2L42TM3mos3MO
Yes, if we send our soldiers to fight wars we should give them every advantage to reduce casualties and shorten the conflict
Make this question more specific. I.e. A.I guidance systems? AI simulated targets? what are we talking about here folks? lets get a little more specific.
@9ZN65GC5mos5MO
Yes, against my better judgement. We will need to use AI to stay abreast of our adversaries, or be left behind.
@9TLDMJL7mos7MO
According to the safety of canadians and trustability of the tech.
@9T6X9HJ7mos7MO
NO, and even the current use of AI should be strictly supervised and limited by public decisions and not privatized.
@9SNJQRW8mos8MO
Yes, but not fully AI. There needs to be constant human review and extensive research beforehand.
@9LW6J3312mos12MO
Any weapon with the potential to kill or injure should not be 100% AI autonomous.
