OpenAI tech will power killer drones – how scared should we be?
If you're worried about AI as it relates to our impending doom, you won't like the news that ChatGPT tech will power swarms of killer drones from Anduril. On Wednesday, Anduril announced the partnership with the most talked-about US AI company.
Many people will also be quick to observe OpenAI's rather abrupt pivot toward the dark side. Earlier this year, a string of departures from the company made us question its commitment to developing safe AI. OpenAI decided to renounce its non-profit beliefs and chase profits like most AI firms.
Partnering with a defense contractor would further make any AI skeptic worry about OpenAI's once-noble intentions about the future of artificial intelligence.
I have to say I do share some of those views. I don't think AI will bring the end of the world in the near future, but I'm aware of the various risks different versions of AI pose to society. Giving the AI access to any sort of weapon is one of those scenarios. Things can go wrong, especially with nascent tech like AI.
However, there's also a sense of relief in this. Make no mistake, some AI firms will get into the military game, whether it's OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or a different entity. And it probably needs to happen sooner or later. The advantage of hearing that AI companies in the Western world are doing it is exactly that: We're hearing about it.
