We have to ask ourselves how meaningful political discussions of AI safety are, if they don’t cover military uses of the technology. Despite the lack of evidence that AI-enabled weapons can comply with international law on distinction and proportionality, they are sold around the world. Since some of the technologies are dual use, the lines between civilian and military uses are blurring. The decision to not regulate military AI has a human price. Even if they are systematically imprecise, these systems are often given undue trust in military contexts as they are wrongly seen as impartial. Yes, AI can help make faster military decisions, but it can also be more error prone and may fundamentally not adhere to international humanitarian law. Human control over operations is critical in legally holding actors to account. The UN has tried to fill the void. Secretary-general António Guterres first called for a ban on autonomous weapons in 2018, describing them as “morally repugnant.”
“OpenAl's policies banning military use of its technology unraveled in less than a year. When the company softened its once-clear rule earlier this year, it was to allow for working with the military in limited contexts, like cybersecurity, suicide prevention, and disaster relief, according to an OpenAl spokesperson. Now, OpenAl is openly embracing its work on national security. If working with militaries or defense-tech companies can help ensure that democratic countries dominate the Al race, the company has written, then doing so will not contradict OpenAl's mission of ensuring that Al's benefits are widely shared. In fact, it argues, it will help serve that mission. But make no mistake: This is a big shift from its position just a year ago.”
