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.

People using ai can cause a bigger problem, Ai could twist your words or turn against if you don't read thoroughly or give prop ore instructions.
@B4FP2QQ3wks3W
No, instead of AI, we could use more people to review the applications, and to have more stricter requirements.
@B4F8RDG3wks3W
people should not be able to use ai and at a point they should stop developing them and only use them if nessacery
@B4DZYGV3wks3W
Ai only exists from current data already provided by humans, just presented in a sometimes convenient manner, but can also contain deadly flaws too frequently.
@B4DQHBR3wks3W

@B4DLN6Z3wks3W
