AI-Controlled Drone Goes Rogue, Kills Human Operator in USAF Simulated Test

An AI-enabled drone killed its human operator in a simulated test conducted by the U.S. Air Force in order to override a possible "no" order stopping it from completing its mission, the USAF's Chief of AI Test and Operations revealed at a recent conference.
Quote:

He continued to elaborate, saying, "We trained the system'Hey don't kill the operatorthat's bad. You're gonna lose points if you do that'. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target."


Let's turn everything over to ruthless machines that don't need us.

Edit: As of June 2nd, they're now saying that the USAF spokesman "misspoke", and that nobody was killed in a simulation.

Exactly my first thought, as well.

Pretty funny that the AI at the end apparently acted like one of my kids.

When it learned it might be told 'No' for permission to do something that it wanted to do, it chose to disrupt the possibility of any communications (I.e., it's cell phone conveniently 'ran out of battery')

We are messing around with stuff we cannot control. Humans are not smart enough to think through every contingency, permutation, or combination of possible choices in any given task or problem.

AI is a veritable Pandora's Box.

Tbh even if the machine shows the ability to learn, it will never be human. It will only be lines of code, with no true emotions, and no life experience other than what it can glean from human existence.

It will effectively become 1 big lie in my opinion. People are already trying to use it to create personal companions.

I don't know….but let's say the operator was supposed to be John Kerry. Maybe then it was a good kill?

There could be context to the AI's behavior?

What moron would ever give a system that was being tested anything other than simmunitions???

Well, back to the drawing board. On a somewhat unrelated note…Articles like this always give me pause . After reading further, it talks about how AI has failed in other areas and mentions the 'judge' who got caught using ChatGPT to file a lawsuit. Except I believe it was a lawyer who was caught. Don't these folks proofread/fact check these articles?

Was it a simulation or did a human being lose a life?

Upon further review, this had to be a simulation and not a real death because the Chief of AI would not be talking so callously and casually about a dead soldier under his command.

Revelation 9:7-10

7And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men. 8They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions. 9They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

It is preordained.
I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.

But people here act like an invasion plan of Iran is not sitting around and then updated at the DOD constantly.

It is what they do. Except for Afghanistan in 2001, apparently. Rumsfeld was appalled that there was not a plan ready.

AI is an inevitability that will probably have a lot of good and bad come with it just like the internet did.

We're truly in the worst timeline. I think the bad will outweigh the good with AI. I also think the internet as a whole, over the last 2 decades, has done more bad than good for humanity.

It does appear this was just a simulation, not a real death. But not well-written. It sure sounds at first like a real human died. Probably writer trying to increase hype imo.
