Can AI be trusted in warfare?
CBSN
Earlier this year House and Senate Committees and Subcommittees heard a good bit of alarming testimony about artificial intelligence and China. Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale AI, testified that, "The Chinese Communist Party deeply understands the potential for AI to disrupt warfare. ... AI is China's Apollo project."
Michèle Flournoy, who served as Under-Secretary of Defense in the Obama administration, said, "The Chinese have something called civil-military fusion, which basically says that the government can demand the cooperation of any company, any academic institution, any scientist, in support of its military. We have a very different approach: We have a truly private sector, and individuals and scientists and academics and companies get to choose whether they want to contribute to national security."
