Where do you draw the line? Almost any significant technology can be applied for military purposes. Likewise, the Internet itself came from a DOD research project; military technologies can be repurposed for peaceful uses.
- sa46 8y agoYes, this is what I don't understand. I'd wager the most dangerous weapon used by the US military is either Microsoft Word or PowerPoint to produce operations orders. It seems that if a product's utility isn't directly tied to a military outcome, then the outrage never materializes. Project Maven caused outrage because of the direct link to military drones. However, advancements in AI and machine learning haven't caused the same outrage but can be used for the same purpose.
