Should the military use weapons guided by artificial intelligence?

Not unless we own the AI

Yes, as long as its only to assist and not make decisions

No, this would create an unfair advantage against other countries (And what if it becomes self aware like in the movies?).

artificial intelligence assistance is a foreseeable outcome, but full guidance and control of weaponry by AI should not be implemented.

Yes, but not until they are made reliable and safe that something won't go catastrophically wrong with the system

Guidance technology is fine, but the final strike should be conducted by a human. The moral compass of AI is unclear.

no, there is a chance for the computer to select the wrong target which could lead to loss of civillian life or friendly fire

No, the use of Artificial Intelligence in war removes the human morals to ending life and will lead humanity down a path of immoral destruction.

Yes, As long as the decision making on the launch and timing of the sort of attack or defence was coordinated and approved by a human and AI was used for intelligent guidance only.

I don’t agree with any murder of anyone but I suppose it’s not a horrible thing to use AI for fighting over humans

AI Technology is still relatively new, and should be developed more before applying it to weaponry and defense applications

I feel like the development of this technology comes with time and experimenting, so we should give it a few years.

No, there is not enough testing or information to say that an AI can distinguish civilians, military personnel and threats.

It depends how well the tech can be trusted, it would have to go through years and years of tests before official use since it may have ''Glitches''.

yes, but only after trials, research and contingencies to ensure it is not a threat to ourselves.

Who controls the AI, was it created by our government or a private company or worse by another country.

Absolutely not. It is vital that we as humans realize and understand the gravity of using weapons to harm other humans. AI may be able to provide functionality and statistics, but it cannot understand the weight of using weapons to harm. Humans themselves are flawed when it pertains to utilizing harmful weaponry, especially in a militaristic setting. It is a slippery slope to utilize AI for weapons.

Yes, but there should be checks and balances to it

yes, once the artificial intelligence has advanced enough.

No, this could too easily lead to a doomsday scenario. Keep AI out of the military!

Yes, if there is a person to monitor the weapon incase of ai malfunction

Its going to happen inevitably anyways. We need an AI ethics commission... because its going to be extremely dangerous if AI goes rogue or can be hijacked in any way.

Yes but only if it is proven to not glitch or be in risk of being hacked.

Yes, but only is it is more accurate than it is under human's control.

No, weapons of mass destruction should not be built to begin with

No there also needs to be a person could use it to help

No. Keep a human in the loop for all lethal engagements.

Yes, but in a highly controlled and scrutinized manner.

Yes, but for defensive systems only. There should always be a human in the loop pulling the trigger for offensive systems.

In belief that Artificial Intelligence will be a downfall to mankind, as most of the world will have access, it makes this question difficult to answer. It is important that Artificial Intelligence be used with caution.

The military should maintain technological pace with our allies

There should always be humans in the lethal force decision making process.

Not entirely guided. And also not complete total AI that can think for itself like a human. Otherwise I think it'd be effective

Yes, as long as it is pretty much guaranteed they will not fail.. Like ever.

Yes, but only if there is always a human kept in the decision making loop.

Yes, if only it will decrease the risk of hurting civilians.

Yes, but only with appropriate oversight and against specific military targets

Not a yes or no answer. There needs to be more clarification on whether the AI is making all decisions up to firing the weapon or just controlling it to the target.

Instead of artificial intelligence, military technology should have advanced programs/technology that can be controlled by professionals.

No, not until AI has been perfected for Military uses

Not right now, the technology is not fully developed enough yet

Not at this time, and not until unbiased third parties review the technology further and there is more scientific consensus.

we will eventually just be creating insane fighting robots we would need to use nuculear weapons to destroy them just to be safe. this will definitely mislead wars and be way to unsafe.

i think that maybe it could be for the better but also could mess up things in the end i think over time they should gradually introduce it but just too send it right in too it i think not

yes, but the weapon must be overlooked by a person and contain fail safes incase the AI fails or goes off course.

I'm taking a guess that rare people didn't watch the Terminator movie at last once. All jokes aside, only have AI for conventional weapons only.

Yes, as long as the AI is highly protected by anti-hacking and anti-viruses with lots of encrypting to ensure there will be no hacking to change where the weapons are being guided

It is going to happen regardless of my opinion. This becomes a battle of politics, humanitarian efforts, war crimes.

No, artificial intelligence should not be a priority of usage in Canada, as we account for a large amount of the worlds freshwater; which AI uses to function.

If this number of Palestinian civillian casualties was reported by the Health Ministry of Gaza, then this number is unreliable and should not be assumed as fact. The Health Ministry of Gaza is operated by Hamas, and designated terrorist organization, which lies about the number of casualties to heighten emotional responses from the West. Hamas deliberately puts Palestinian civillians in harm's way by hiding in and under mosques, schools, and densely populated areas. In the current Israel-Hamas war, Israel has the lowest combatant to civillian ratio in any historical war.

no, no weapons system should have no human oversight, an autonomous drone system is acceptable only if targets are designated by a human operator or a specfic set target

After sufficient training time, to determine full impacts, limitations, and abilities of the technology.

Yes, if we send our soldiers to fight wars we should give them every advantage to reduce casualties and shorten the conflict

Only if AI is advanced enough, it has a mind of its own. Plus, it's computer based so I expect someone tinkering with the A

Make this question more specific. I.e. A.I guidance systems? AI simulated targets? what are we talking about here folks? lets get a little more specific.

Yes, against my better judgement. We will need to use AI to stay abreast of our adversaries, or be left behind.

According to the safety of canadians and trustability of the tech.

yes, but only when it is safe to use. if it's a ranged weapon where there aren't people who would be in front of it then by all means, AI doesn't have emotions they're more accurate and safer when operated correctly.

I believe missile guidance systems should use AI, but AI should never choose where to target

NO, and even the current use of AI should be strictly supervised and limited by public decisions and not privatized.

The military must operate under the guidance of the revolutionary working class and only until the class divide is abolished worldwide.

Yes, but ethical research needs to be conducted and needs to be at the forefront of the militaries AI investment

Yes, but not fully AI. There needs to be constant human review and extensive research beforehand.

Depends on how good it's gotten. I'd have to see some damn good examples of it being better than human hands.

Any weapon with the potential to kill or injure should not be 100% AI autonomous.

Yes along it is highly protected from being anti-hacking and anti-viruses, to make sure the reverse doesn't happen where the weapons are directed towards us instead of our enemies. As well, the use of the AI weapons should be limited to a degree as if we lose the control of the AI or it gets to smart it can backfire upon us, because we have seen in recent movies how scary the evolution and development of AI has gotten.
