Should the military use weapons guided by artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Lethal autonomous weapons systems use artificial intelligence to identify and kill human targets without human intervention. Russia, the United States and China have all recently invested billions of dollars secretly developing AI weapons systems sparking fears of an eventual “AI Cold War.”In April 2024 +972 Magazine published a report detailing the Israeli Defense Forces intelligence-based program known as “Lavender.” Israeli intel…

No

AI can be used for good and evil ways, ultimately AI must be used for both as any invention in human history, a pillow was meant for comfort but it can also be used to suffocate someone to death, same case for AI wherein it's up to the user's ethics and where they'll use it for that'll dictate it's purpose, and nowadays as war becomes even more deadlier, i would much rather a computer die than a human being.

Yes

As we can see in the War in Ukraine, drones, missiles, canons kill more soldiers than actual gunfights, and ultimately the future of warfare will be dictated by technology and not by morality or whatsoever.

Use weapons through AI guidance but for strategic purposes.

Yes, but only for assisting at desperate situations

 @BCZJ58JNational from Mindoro Occidental  answered…4wks4W

In decision making systems, yes. Artificial Intelligence can decide the operator in factors like target identification and threat detection. In the end, humans still have the decision to fire based on rules on engagement.

 @BCWMSB7from Mindoro Occidental  answered…1mo1MO

Only for UAVS and small craft. Not macro decisions.

If the ai is strategic then maybe.

 @BCG84RLLiberalfrom Agusan del Sur  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but the artificial intelligence must not make any actions or decisions that isnt approved by its user.

 @BCDG95Xanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if the military is under constant, heavy discipline and authority of a civilian body. The use of Artificial Intelligence in military weaponries risk preventing the protected right of military personnel and officials to oppose illegitimate orders, and if it will be integrated to increase military effectiveness and technical edge, there must be a way to counterbalance such a system.

 @BC4XZYKIndependentanswered…2mos2MO

Ues, but the final command to kill must come from a human operator

 @BBFMK8JIndependentfrom Agusan del Sur  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but experiment it repeatedly on a controlled environment to see if its safe to use

 @B8N98LYLiberalanswered…6mos6MO

In some cases AI is great for other methods, but military should be regulated with in-person regulation.

 @B8LSD5Dfrom Mindoro Occidental  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but with very strict regulations to ensure safety on civilians.

 @BDMPZBMfrom Mindoro Occidental  answered…8hrs8H

Yes, but with proper testing, and strict regulation.
