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.

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

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.

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.

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…3wks3W

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
