Comment on The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans

  And if the operator was commanded to do it? And to delete the logs? How naive are you that this is somehow make war more humane?

    Each additional safeguard makes it harder and adds another name to the eventual war crimes trial. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, especially when it comes to reducing the number of ambulances that get blown up in war zones.

      @FaceDeer if a country which repeatedly bombs hospitals had that tech right now, do you really think they would program it to avoid ambulances or hospitals? Of course not.

  It doesn't work like that though. Western (backed) military can do and does that unpunished.

  Israeli general: Captain, were you responsible for reprogramming the drones to bomb those ambulances?

  Israeli captain: Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!

  Israeli general: Captain, you’re just the sort of man we need in this army.

    Ah, evil people exist and therefore we should never develop technology that evil people could use. Right.

      Seems like a good reason not to develop technology to me. See also: biological weapons.

        Those weapons come out of developments in medicine. Technology itself is not good or evil, it can be used for good or for evil. If you decide not to develop technology you're depriving the good of it as well. My point earlier is to show that there are good uses for these things.
