Beijing: China warned the United States on Wednesday that the excessive use of artificial intelligence in its military could plunge the world into a "Terminator"-like dystopian future.
US President Donald Trump's administration has sought the unconditional use of AI startups in the military.
The Pentagon has confirmed Elon Musk's Grok system is cleared for use in a classified setting, and blacklisted Anthropic after it refused to allow its Claude AI model to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous lethal warfare.
"Such choices as the unrestricted application of AI by the military, using AI as a tool to violate the sovereignty of other nations, allowing AI to excessively affect war decisions, and giving algorithms the power to determine life and death, not only erode ethical restraints and accountability in wars, but also risk technological runaway," a spokesman for China's defence ministry, Jiang Bin, said on Wednesday.
"A dystopia depicted in the American film 'The Terminator' could one day come true," he said.
