It also doesn't decide the target.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoNeither does the person launching it though. Software in the case of AI weapons is basically just enlisted personnel that follow orders perfectly.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI thought this is about weapons making decisions in the field autonomously. Like spotting a target and then also deciding to kill it.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoWell right now Pvt. Crayon is making the decision on whether or not to engage. In the edge cases Pvt. Crayon is probably going to be better than AI at making the call for a hell of a lot longer than the people pushing the technology claim at any point in time. The question really becomes how much you care about edge cases. When there's a car bomb barreling toward your checkpoint being able to just hit the big red "kill everything in this predefined space" button and dive for cover would be a godsend.
