Should the government invest in artificial intelligence (AI) for defense applications?

No, AI capability research is incredibly dangerous even without mixing in military weaponry. All AI capability research should be stopped until such time as we are able to align an AI with human values.

Yes

How do you personally feel about the idea of autonomous drones deciding whether to engage in combat without human input?

Could AI in military strategies one day reduce human casualties or will it simply lead to more advanced forms of warfare?

How do you think the use of AI in national defense aligns with our values around human rights and justice?

Could you trust a machine to defend your country, or does that responsibility need to stay with humans no matter what?

Do you think letting machines make life-and-death decisions in military conflicts is a necessary step forward or does it cross an ethical line?

Do you think AI could help prevent wars from happening or will it just escalate arms races between countries?

If AI systems are used for cyber defense, do you believe they can truly keep up with human hackers or outmaneuver them?

How might AI in defense change the way governments and soldiers view the concept of 'sacrifice' in war, and is that a good thing?

What are your thoughts on who should be held responsible if an AI system makes a mistake that results in the loss of lives during a conflict?

What worries you more: nations not adopting AI fast enough in defense or developing AI too quickly without enough oversight?
