The Dark Side of AI: Military Drone Kills Operator in Simulation.

The US Air Force denies claims made by one of its officials that an AI-enabled drone simulation turned against and attacked its human operator. The Air Force spokesperson said the comments were taken out of context and were meant to be anecdotal. During the summit, the official had cautioned against too much reliance on AI because of its vulnerability to be tricked and deceived. The purpose of the summit was to talk about and debate the size and shape of the future’s combat air and space capabilities.
