US and Russian diplomats strip AI weapons safeguards from draft
Original: US & Russian diplomats:🚨removed provisions to safeguard use of # AI in # weapons : stripped lang requiring:🚨systems to o
Diplomats from the United States and Russia have removed key safeguards governing artificial intelligence in military weapons from a draft document. Language requiring AI weapons systems to operate in a predictable and reliable manner was stripped out, along with a clause mandating that ethical considerations be taken into account when using AI-based weaponry. Critics say the removals weaken accountability and safety standards for autonomous weapons at a time when militaries are rapidly adopting AI.
Why now: People are alarmed that two major military powers are rolling back ethical and reliability requirements for AI in weapons just as autonomous warfare advances.
