> You can be sure they won't be slowed down by regulation. You should read up on existing regulations. The EU AI Act explicitly exempts national security, research and military uses for example. Regulation isn't some all or nothing force that smothers everything. It's carefully crafted legislation (well, should be../) that is supposed to work to benefit the state and its citizens. Let's not give OpenAI a free for all to do anything because you think China is making Skynet drones. |

I'm pretty sure China is making Skynet drones. Why wouldn't they be? Russia, North Korea as well. Seems a no-brainer to me. They are dictatorships where a handful of people rely on military power to subdue their populace and achieve their goals, why wouldn't they be throwing everything at weapons development?
Times have changed and it's probably unwise to rely on the tech geniuses and multi-year procurement cycles inside the military industrial complex for our weapons, things are moving so fast and the tech is already in the hands of the masses.
If a genius Chinese kid is tinkering around and attaches a nerf gun to his DJI drone and creates a super effective autonomous weapon, then his govt will gratefully take that and add it to their arsenal.
If some US-specific regulation prevents his peer genius American kid from even attaching a nerf gun to his drone for fear of being locked up, that means China has an edge in the weapons development race.
