Ukrainian companies are developing autonomous drones and other AI-driven weaponry to use in the war with Russia, potentially ushering in a new era of warfare dominated by killer robots. These autonomous weapon systems, which include self-guided drones that can coordinate attacks and machine guns with computer vision capable of automatically shooting down soldiers, are being built using dual-use components from consumer technology. These systems operate with non-human judgements on targeting.
A.I. Begins Ushering In an Age of Killer Robots https://t.co/aEjuyEBkKz
In more than a dozen interviews with Ukrainian entrepreneurs, engineers and military units, a picture emerged of a near future when self-guided drones can coordinate attacks and machine guns with computer vision can automatically shoot down soldiers. https://t.co/ZqW30AMa9I
NEW essay from @zittrain in @TheAtlantic: How do we prepare now for sophisticated, nonhuman #AI agents that can independently meet goals...and even operate indefinitely? https://t.co/FER4nDfrPF
Alongside all the big brain opining about AI regulation & the moral dangers, UKR is weaponizing existing AI capabilities into drone with non-human judgements on targeting. Autonomous weapon systems are already here w/dual use components from consumer tech https://t.co/olFcyqKXwr
