Bangkok: There is misleading information circulating on Instagram abroad that claims that simulation results from the United States Air Force found that Unmanned aerial vehicles or Drones controlled by Artificial Intelligence or AI technology show disobedience to human commands. By killing the controller and seizing the communication tower.
Conclusion :
It was later revealed that Message from a U.S. Air Force representative Claimed to be a miscommunication
United States Air Force He confirmed that he had never tested a weapon controlled by artificial intelligence before.
FACT CHECK : Check the facts :
Such an excuse Taken from the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) conference held in May 2023 by Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton, Commander of AI Training and Operations for the United States Air Force. Went to attend a lecture on the topic of benefits and dangers of weapons systems that do not rely on human command (Autonomous Weapons Systems).
Hamilton’s lecture content It has been published on the website of the
British Aviation Association. In the sub-topic titled AI – is Skynet here already? (Has AI – Skynet really happened yet?)
in such topic Hamilton described a scenario in which a drone AI was given commands to destroy an enemy surface-to-air missile. (Surface-to-air missile : SAM), but when the controller cancels the order, Drone AI will view the controller as an obstruction to the main mission. and turned to attack to kill the controller instead
And when entering a command to prohibit attacking the Drone AI controller whose mission was interrupted by the command. will change to take over the communications tower To prevent mission obstruction as well.
Skynet
When the article AI – is Skynet here already? Go distribute it online. The content was linked to Skynet, a neural network mentioned in The Terminator, director James Cameron’s 1984 science fiction film.
Skynet has been described as an artificial intelligence without limits (Artificial General Super Intelligence: AGSI). The content of The Terminator an
d Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the 1991 sequel, says that Skynet was created in 1997 for the military. The United States air force is used to control bombers that evade radar detection (Stealth Aircraft) instead of controlling all humans.
Until they discovered evidence that Skynet was starting to view humans as a threat and wanted to destroy them. When the military attempted to cut off electricity, Skynet decided to launch a nuclear bomb into Russia. Because it has been calculated that will cause the world to enter a catastrophic era of nuclear war (Judgment Day)
United States Air Force News Editing
In June 2023, the British Aviation Association revised its website article on AI – is Skynet here already? Confirming what Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton said about finding Drone AI disobeying orders in a simulated situation. It is a miscommunication (Misspoke) and is just a hypothesis from a thought experiment (Thought Experiment) and has nothing to do with the experiment of the United States Air Force.
Hamilton emph
asized that the United States Air Force has never tested artificial intelligence-controlled weapons. Whether in simulation or real-world testing.
Hamilton concluded by saying: Even though it’s all just an assumption. But the results also speak to the challenges of executing missions with artificial intelligence. That’s why the United States Air Force is committed to developing ethical artificial intelligence.
