The US Department of Defense has deployed machine learning algorithms to identify targets in over 85 air strikes on targets in Iraq and Syria this year.
The Pentagon has done this sort of thing since at least 2017 when it launched Project Maven, which sought suppliers capable of developing object recognition software for footage captured by drones. Google pulled out of the project when its own employees revolted against using AI for warfare, but other tech firms have been happy to help out.
Without an international arms treaty in regards to AI, that was inevitable.
The only hope now is to get to a point where the drones just fight each other and leave people alone.
Lol, like the US would pay attention to an international arms treaty.
Screamers is more likely I think
