Yep, we currently use lots weapons that decide when to kill and it would save quite a number of civilians if they were able to make better decisions. A land mine is a great example. It decides to kill when it detects pressure, it doesn’t give a shit why that pressure is there. It would be nice to be able to have it decide both on pressure and if the thing providing the pressure is worth killing. Child, no; enemy soldier, yes.

The alternative to military AI is not peace, it’s war the old-fashioned way. Humans are bad at distinguishing civilians from enemy fighters; artillery shells can’t do it at all. I anticipate that AI will make mistakes, but fewer mistakes than would have been made otherwise.
