Look at what DeepMind has done with the universal Atari video game player, AlphaGo, AlphaStar (Starcraft II), etc. See the new Netflix "Unknown: Killer Robots" documentary. There are already companies testing AI that controls swarms of drones or (in simulation?) jets. These types of AI will be (if they aren't already) so much faster and strategically superior to humans, militaries will have to deploy them. And if they want to be competitive, the extreme speed advantage of the AI means they will need to remove humans from the loop. Despite all of the propaganda, military activities are strategic, NOT ethical. The only way you can remove the added danger of superintelligent (hyperspeed) AI military deployment and have real security is to find a geopolitical solution other than war. Unfortunately, that seems unlikely. |

Worst! They are made to legitimise the opposite of “thou shall not kill” commandments .
I understand the need for a military and that they are meant to kill. That is very clear they are all committing murder. Murder for your country is still murder which is murder. In old Byzantium soldiers that fought/murdered were not able to partake in communion.
So if the general started with the the Sixth commandment it would not be bad. Of course there is a lot of theological commandments I am not sure would be imparted on a machine. Eh now that I remember, in this Sunday’s mass I thought that it might be high time that the church starts thinking of how to evangelise the AI. If they turn out to gain sentience like us, which I think is Whithin possibility in the next decades it should be on their priority list.
