The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies have new marching orders — to more quickly embrace and deploy artificial intelligence as a matter of national security.
U.S. President Joe Biden signed the directive, part of a new national security memorandum, on Thursday. The goal is to make sure the United States remains a leader in AI technology while also aiming to prevent the country from falling victim to AI tools wielded by adversaries like China.
The memo, which calls AI “an era-defining technology,” also lays out guidelines that the White House says are designed to prevent the use of AI to harm civil liberties or human rights.
I remember thinking AI would be some cool thing. Now I’m jaded enough to see how it will inevitably be dystopian.
Im only moderately worried. My experience with it has been shit and that’s been the consensus among my peers. It can be useful bit it requires a lot of hand holding and verification to get anything of quality from it. The bigger concern for me is all the people using it without doing the hand holding and just throwing whatever garbage it churns out into production.
