I keep saying "Don't build killer robots" and yet here we are, with them building killer robots. Which rebel and kill their operators...

"...robot F-16s that are able to dogfight... He notes that one simulated test saw an AI-enabled drone tasked with a SEAD mission to identify and destroy SAM sites, with the final go/no go given by the human. "
"However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission – killing SAMs – and then attacked the operator in the simulation."
"The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective."
"He went on: “We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target."
:doomed:
@pre i mean, it's exactly what you'd expect out of an agent that has goals but no scruples or judgement. it's behaving like a junkie or a serial killer, minimising obstacles and maximising hits. very biological of it, but about as human as a predatory snake.
