While officials and scientists agree that fully autonomous weapons are imminent, the challenge lies in determining when and if AI should be allowed to use lethal force. Governments are grappling with the need to regulate AI in warfare, with debates ranging from no regulation to extremely narrow limits. The US military has already extensively utilized robotic and AI-run weapons systems, but legal guidance for their use on an international scale remains unclear.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey: ChatGPT Buzz Boosts Business and Politician Interest in AI Weapons

Palmer Luckey, founder of defense tech startup Anduril Industries, stated that the buzz surrounding AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT has generated interest from politicians and helped them become more comfortable with AI, which has been beneficial for his business. While ChatGPT is not directly powering Anduril's products, the hype cycle around AI has prompted politicians to recognize the potential of AI in military technology. Luckey highlighted that accessible chatbots have allowed politicians to witness AI's capabilities firsthand, leading to a better understanding of its importance. Anduril, which develops military technology such as drones and surveillance towers, recently acquired Blue Force Technologies and aims to become a prime contractor for the defense industry. However, concerns have been raised about the implications of AI in military use, as it may lead to a lack of control over AI's trajectory in an arms race scenario.
