Artificial intelligence (#AI) into warfare raises ethical, practical, and strategic considerations.

Technological Advancements and Warfare: The use of AI in war introduces new algorithms and technologies that potentially reshape military strategies and tactics. AI is used for tasks like autonomous targeting, decision-making, or logistics optimization.

Ethical Concerns: ethical dilemmas associated with AI-driven warfare. Making killing more "humane" and "responsible" through technological advancements, can lead to a perception of sanitizing violence.

Privatization of Military Command: The shift towards AI in warfare leads to a privatization of military functions, as technology companies play a role in developing and implementing AI systems.

Collateral Damage and Public Perception: Collateral damage ratios like 15 to 1 raises questions about the acceptability of casualties in conflicts where AI is employed. Public confidence and trust in AI-driven warfare become critical issues.

Policy and Governance: Establishing policies and regulations around AI in warfare is crucial. Defining the roles of humans in decision-making processes involving AI and ensuring accountability for actions taken by autonomous systems.

Challenges and Risks: The effectiveness of AI technology in warfare draws parallels with previous tech trends like blockchain and cryptocurrency. There's concern that investing heavily in AI for military purposes will yield little value while causing harm.

Broader Societal Impact: Using AI in warfare will have broader societal implications beyond the battlefield. It will influence public attitudes towards technology, privacy concerns, and the militarization of AI in civilian contexts.

Balance of Innovation and Responsibility: Whether the pursuit of AI in warfare represents progress or merely another trend driven by superficial or misguided thinking #fashernista thinking with potentially dire consequences.

In summary, the integration of AI into warfare demands ethical, legal, and societal implications. The goal should be to leverage technological advancements responsibly, ensuring that human values and principles guide the development and deployment of AI systems in any contexts.

AI makes more of the same uncaring / less ethical future with whatever they can latch on to + Friendship as the answer to everything? 

@witchescauldron █ I like your segmenting of each point as a paragraph which seems well thought about, so it's not dismissive what I say next, that

█ I eventually will group these things perhaps as "already happening but just faster using AI" because "they"/the owners were never ethical or caring and all tech advances that as extension of themselves or like-minded warlords and servants... (it seems right to say that, and yes AI makes more of the same uncaring future with whatever they can latch on to)...

█ Have you reached more answers / solutions since we last commented on each others posts a while back?... Seems we know or are aware but friendship hard to maintain without others / even 'us' as peers or any level above...

(Friendship is my current answer for everything now as baseline which eventually gets us there, as "the best we have" and not just focussing on "them" without positive output at the same time personally or globally - often both).
