In November 2017, an advocacy group called the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots published a short film called “ HYPERLINK "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA" Slaughterbots” in which autonomous drones developed by the military-industrial complex terrorize and kill innocent civilians. Though compelling, Slaughterbots is disingenuous propaganda that stigmatizes incredibly valuable AI research done by defense agencies—research that will have broad social and economic benefits beyond just defense applications. Defense research and development (R&D) activities have long played a crucial role in the U.S. innovation ecosystem and have been responsible for many widely-used technologies today, including the Internet, GPS, and smartphones. Defense agencies’ investments in AI will be no different, yet should policymakers succumb to baseless fears that military AI research will lead to a dystopian world full of killer robots, it will set back important AI research poised to deliver many benefits to Americans. | New 18 , 19 Oct 2018. https://datainnovation.org/2018/10/fighting-military-ai-research-undermines-social-and-economic-progress/ // Sage AA | 72,426 | 440 | 4,047 | 0 |
