Judeo-Christian roots will ensure US military AI is used ethically, general says

Where have we heard that before?

I don't want a military force that considers ethics at all. That's how we end up losing all over the world.

What does that even mean?! Will this take the Christian path of forgiving our enemies, turning the other cheek, and giving our shirts to people who steal our cloaks?

Is he saying that military AI should specifically target Philistines and the uncircumcised? Will the military AI enslave people but give them the option of freedom or permanent servitude after 7 years?

You can't base something on Judeo-Christian ethics because both the Hebrew bible and new testament are a giant compendium of people disagreeing with G-d and each other on proper ethics.

Look at what DeepMind has done with the universal Atari video game player, AlphaGo, AlphaStar (Starcraft II), etc. See the new Netflix "Unknown: Killer Robots" documentary. There are already companies testing AI that controls swarms of drones or (in simulation?) jets.

These types of AI will be (if they aren't already) so much faster and strategically superior to humans, militaries will have to deploy them. And if they want to be competitive, the extreme speed advantage of the AI means they will need to remove humans from the loop.

Despite all of the propaganda, military activities are strategic, NOT ethical.

The only way you can remove the added danger of superintelligent (hyperspeed) AI military deployment and have real security is to find a geopolitical solution other than war. Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.

Such an ill defined assertion does not give much confidence...
