The author at the closing of the article take a small blurb from a defense contractor think tank, and I quote "“AI ethicists at the Pentagon would have to be capable of supporting the entire breadth of AI applications all the way from when is it acceptable to use artificial intelligence in a weapons system to how do we think about the acceptable and appropriate uses of personnel data.”
Sheppard suggested that the new appointee should be willing to “get their hands dirty” by visiting the frontline." Having an AI access to my personal data just seems a little extreme doesn't it? Having a AI drone determine which village should or should not survive is one thing but we don't want competition with facebook when it comes to what a computer knows about me or at least before it kills me.
