Yes, But only if the AI is used for information and detecting enemy attacks, it cannot initiate attacks/counter-attacks.
@9ZD7HCG2wks2W
Yes, but not to the extent of the private market bubble, and only when technology has been heavily tested and found to be reliable should it be put to use
@9YKVWYH2wks2W
AI is difficult because its a new thing. It can be used for good and bad, so Its a case-by-case basis.
@9YDGG9X2wks2W
I don't believe artificial intelligence is a safe creation and will eventually take over all jobs, and society as a whole
@9WQ5HHK4wks4W
It depends, if ai is being used to check if someone is who they say they are then no, however if it is being used to keep servers protected then yes
@9W9M54X1mo1MO
Yes but until AI becomes more advanced it should not be the biggest priority nor should we rely on it too heavily if it does reach that level of advancement.
@9W6MXFY1mo1MO
No, at the end of the day AI can have false positives and needs to be constantly kept maintained by humans so might as well just use humans.
@9W5TSDN1mo1MO
Some support investing in AI for defense to enhance national security and efficiency, while others express concerns about ethical implications, potential misuse, and the risks of autonomous weaponry.
