Should the government invest in artificial intelligence (AI) for defense applications?

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.

A country needs to be strong, in all ways. Yes. I don't want to train AI to kill people, but there is little good in being good, if you have no power to stay that way.

 @9P3HRW9answered…5mos5MO

Maybe in certain aspects but it would also have to be properly monitored

 @9NW8SYPanswered…6mos6MO

i don't think that we should be encouraging the use of AI in general, as it can be harmful to women and people in general, but can be used for some good things.

 @9NT25LDanswered…6mos6MO

Yes but only for applications proven to work with AI

 @9NLJHFDanswered…6mos6MO

Small investment into if, however putti no money into defence is a waste cause we are not getting attacked

 @9YM4RGFanswered…2wks2W

Yes, but it must always have human oversight and final human decision making, and it must not be used to target civilians or break international laws

 @9YHWNV5answered…2wks2W

Yes. This should be used. However it should not be capable of directly controlling the firing of weapons .

 @9WV5Y6Zanswered…4wks4W

Yes most likely. However this sounds like a military question not for local government elections or people. Would need a group of experts to extend on the decision.
