If it isn’t clear to everyone, this is a gesture meant to calm public populace fears about “AI”.

First of all, there is no definition of “AI”. It’s a running joke in the community that once an “AI” approach gets good enough to be commoditized it is no longer called “AI” and becomes simply “ML” (machine learning) that we teach to college students.

With that in mind, military drones have used “AI” since at least during the Obama administration. This is a nonstory.

I’ve been to summits like the one talked about that are a bunch of people in government, nonprofit, or for profit executive roles that get together to discuss things they don’t understand and make a resolution that looks good. They are all for show. Nothing useful, meaningful, or impactful comes from these things.

Yes, yes, we should be responsible with the use of AI. Everyone agrees without asking what that really means.
