    It’s so much easier to say that the AI decided to bomb that kindergarden based on advanced Intel, than if it were a human choice. You can’t punish AI for doing something wrong. AI does not require a raise for doing something right either

      That’s an issue with the whole tech industry. They do something wrong, say it was AI/ML/the algorithm and get off with just a slap on the wrist.

      We should all remember that every single tech we have was built by someone. And this someone and their employer should be held accountable for all this tech does.

      1979: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

      2023: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must make all decisions that are inconvenient to take accountability for.

      Whether in military or business, responsibility should lie with whomever deploys it. If they’re willing to pass the buck up to the implementor or designer, then they shouldn’t be convinced enough to use it.

      Because, like all tech, it is a tool.

      Maybe I’m being pedantic, but technically, you do punish AIs when they do something “wrong”, during training. Just like you reward it for doing something right.

        But that is during training. I insinuated that you can’t punish AI for making a mistake, when used in combat situations, which is very convenient for the ones intentionally wanting that mistake to happen
