> Considering this new MALD is networked, swarming and cooperative tactics among a group of MALD-Xs/MALD-Ns could work to achieve their full potential as a team. This includes classifying, prioritizing, and delegating jamming and decoy duties on the fly during their relatively short lifespan. By working together autonomously they can act at speeds that can break the enemy's decision cycle and cripple their ability to respond fast enough to impact what's going on in the battle-space.
It's often lamented that the best minds of our generation are spending their careers optimizing clicks on cat pictures.
However, I'm not sure that using advanced AI to kill people is much better. And given that this particular project is actually being publicized, it gives me the chills to speculate on what kinds of advanced AI is being developed in black projects.
I mean, imagine a pack of Boston Dynamics' agile robots running through the streets - equipped with a facial recognition database and a weapons platform.

- bassman9000 8y agoI'm not sure that using advanced AI to kill people is much better bright minds worked in the US and other nuclear programs, included soviet ones, to keep geopolitical balance with minimum deaths. And with AI you want the brightest minds working on it: it doesn't matter how compassionate and good willed you are, there's always going to be another state actor willing to use it against you. And you can bet they'll employ their brightest. Assuming anything else is naive and suicidal.
