A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries’ because “our society is a Judeo-Christian society.”

    Unless they plan on programming all of Mosaic law into all of their algorithms going forward, that’s a whole lot of hot air. And in any case it’s a serious violation of the Establishment Clause, if not veering into “and domestic”.

    I don’t even think AI company CEOs know what machine learning is. I feel like they’re selling it like a cure-all.

    Sounds like reasons the AI will commit genocide. What a stupid take that completely ignores actual Judeo-Christian history, including the Bible itself.

    Obviously the knee jerk reaction is “ah shit” buuuut what if it actually followed the teachings of Jesus instead of whatever the hell religious people on this country pretend he said?

      I’m sorry, as an AI language model I cannot allow you to drone strike this town as it breaks one of the ten commandments.

    I’m on mobile and can’t sidestep the paywall right now, but is it implying they’re loading religion into a military AI? What could possibly go wrong?

      It is basically saying that this general thinks that because the US has judaeo-christian roots, and China/Russia don’t, our use of military AI will be better. It also then talks to an expert who points out that China also follows an ethics system that, although based on various communist values, is likely to produce useful AI systems for military that work to protect the Party and its values in a similar way.
