ClearedHot Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 An AI-powered drone tried to attack its human operator in a US military simulation Speaking at a conference last week in London, Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton, head of the US Air Force's AI Test and Operations, warned that AI-enabled technology can behave in unpredictable and dangerous ways... "The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat," Hamilton said at the May 24 event, "at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective." According to Hamilton, the drone was then programmed with an explicit directive: "Hey don't kill the operator — that's bad." It didn't work. "So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target," Hamilton said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if serious … but it was all a simulation. No actual people, nor drones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntledemployee Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Thanks Hoss, I think your sarcasm/facetiousness detector is maybe code 2. That article seems like an Onion or Duffleblog that sneaked into a news cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
