What do you mean "when"? AI is used in war all the time.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

If war only involves robots and and AI, at least no humans will be killed …right?

Edit; I thought that it was obvious I was being sarcastic.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, maybe only some at the beginning, but then there will be no more to kill.

The machine war will rage eternal

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago

Not if we block out the sun. And then wait for the chosen one to make peace with the robots...

Until the ai learns tracking innocent people hostage is a good way to force your opponent into submission. Wars haven't been known to be clean

Who said anything about only?

You mean our smarter betters aren’t doing this so humans don’t have to die in their shitty wars?

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

every conflict will primarily of AI-driven systems killing civilians, we have yet to have ai versus ai

[–] T156@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

E-War probably comes close, though.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Google "the gospel Gaza "

The IDF uses AI already to choose bombing targets to shrug responsibility.

Korea has terminators that know karate. Autonomous killer drones have been in the testing phase for a few years now.

Someone even made Faro Plague machines that consume biomass for fuel.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Israel is using AI for planning, for "analyzing" all the photos and data they collect, and for assistance selecting targets for their drone strikes.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Which is what that Microsoft employee protested against and got fired for.

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Ukraine has drones that can do the last mile themselves (= selecting their target and explode in a place that makes the most damage), to prevent Russia from it working by jamming the signal

I hope the poster in the screenshot was born in Austria in 1988.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Google "the gospel Israel"

it's not when, or if, it's already a thing

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What the fuck

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

fully evil, but "Habsora" is amazing taste in naming an evil ai

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

AI gonna fight the War in Heaven. I read it in a future history book

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

AI will be fighting other AI for thousands of years after we're gone.

Palantir pre-emptive drone strike

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I think there was a story I read, years ago, about a computer being used to identify and destroy AA platforms in a simulated war exercise. Back then (back in my day) it wasn't called AI, it was a machine learning program. But anyway, the computer was scored based on how many targets it successfully destroyed. However, it could only engage targets when a clear to fire authorization was given by a human.
Eventually then endeavor was abandoned because the computer figured out it was humans preventing it from getting a higher score. So, mathematically it made sense for the machine to kill its handlers so as to grant itself fire-at-will capabilities.
It may have been a sci-fi piece and not a real event. It becomes more and more difficult to tell now a days.

Lmao thought it said warframe, and was like these comments don't make sense.... 🤦‍♀️

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't wait for AI to destroy humanity

[–] match@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago

humanity will be destroying humanity, ai is just a tool that will be used in the process
