You're also forgetting that most companies/people that are good at AI are refusing to do work that promote war.



I think I read a headline that some department of Google had the heebiejeebies about AI for the US military, but I think it's a bit broadbrush and also redundant to make the claim you have here.

China has huge AI potential, and I'm not sure you do or can speak for them; AI may increasingly be a 'package' that's brought into tech, so I'm not sure how much difference morals make in its development, if the end product has universal plug-in potential?

Unless, I suppose, the smart, utopianistic & pacifistic people who form AI in the first place deeply-embed moral stuctures that cause AI to somehow magically recognise its use for malintent and then auto-terminate... . Unlikely!


I bet the big defense contractors and three-letter agencies have pretty good AI departments.
