Missed opportunity for a great quote from another James Cameron movie "Private Frost: What the hell are we supposed to use, man, harsh language?"
Let's just set aside feasibility. I think AI making tactical decisions about how to execute a goal while being shot at is going to be step 518, and we're on something like step 3.
It's not clear to me why an AI executing policy is a whole lot different than a bureaucracy executing policy. For example, I believe that the guys who launch the ICBM's go through pretty extensive psychological testing, to help guarantee they'll actually launch if ordered to do so. Wargames not withstanding, is ordering a robot to turn the key to launch different somehow?
Is a robot mowing down a village fundamentally different than a person mowing down a village?
- tim333 10y agoPossibly a robot mowing down a village would be more discriminating as to who it mowed.

Yet, thankfully, some in the chain of command in military organizations retain their common sense as shown by the actions of Vasili Arkhipov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov) and later Stanislav Petrov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov). Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
