Did we read the same thing?

We support the use of AI for lawful foreign intelligence and counterintelligence missions. But using these systems for mass domestic surveillance is incompatible with democratic values.

So they accept surveillance in other countries? What about other countries’ democratic values?

Even fully autonomous weapons (those that take humans out of the loop entirely and automate selecting and engaging targets) may prove critical for our national defense. But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons.

So you don’t because it still sucks? But if it didn’t, you would?

And what about legal?

• Do Not Develop or Design Weapons???
• Do Not Compromise Privacy or Identity Rights???

I’ve really lost my faith in the US. They think they hold the power, but they’re missing the point: real power is built on trust-and we’re losing more of it every day.
