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.

for missile detection and assist arming with laser guiding to hit targets with more damage and accuracy
@B24STGS4mos4MO
Yes, but under extremely strict supervision and utilization, and it is to be prohibited the moment it puts the lives of personnel at risk.
@9ZSXRDG4mos4MO
Only to an extent. The government should not put all their trust and resources in to AI, but it is a good idea to utilise its abilities without over-relying on it
@9ZSXRD94mos4MO
To an extent, as being able to use AI in a effective and efficient mannor would be a major advantage but being overreliance could be dangerous as AI is prone to spreading major misinformation.
@9YM4RGF5mos5MO
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
@9YHWNV55mos5MO
Yes. This should be used. However it should not be capable of directly controlling the firing of weapons .
@9WV5Y6Z5mos5MO
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.
@9WTKHM65mos5MO
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.
