This is especially true when combined with mass surveillance, domestically and abroad. Huge trove of data that is likely already being mined with machine learning and other techniques.

#12Dude is 64 years old, and was never seen using a computer. Give him a break on this one, he's likely just parroting Medvedev, who in turn is parroting one of his distant underlings.
I am not sure how much you realized you are under some illusion of how people view AI... People are not dumb. There is an instinct to fear things that matching you in any aspects or overpowering you. That's true existence threat...

#13Don't get me wrong, I fully subscribe to the school of thought that he's a murderer, but honestly, drones fighting drones sounds pretty good.

Where does the US stand? Any serious plans by its leaders and the government?

#16Artificial intelligence == ML/CV/NLP (not the AGI) will transform the world over the next two decades. People vastly underestimate importance of recent advances in detection/recognition/NLU tasks.
Sure it sounds boring by some sci-fi standards but when it comes to warfare ability to deploy cheap drones that can do near real time enemy identification will transform not just the battelfield but the entire society. Look at the current heated debate on Police stops leading to shooting. In less than a decade we will have autonomous cop car capable of disabling vehicles and firing tasers.
The world will be completely transformed just with todays state of the art tech. All it currently lacks are "platforms" for deployments.

Oh goodness, please do not make courses mandatory. China adding AI courses to their primary education means their students will hate it.

Yeah if you think about all the unstructured phone conversations tagged with people who are terrorists, and then jammed into a neural net, things get powerful. But taking that a step further, you can identify political dissent, etc

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
He doesn't need to be a computer expert to recognize a force multiplier when he sees one.
I doubt very much that he understands, even in the most basic terms, what any of this is about. Nor does he really care about any of it. Source: am a Russian-American, with a pretty good understanding of what's going on over there.
