"In October 1984, the movie "The Terminator" introduced us to Skynet, a futuristic artificial intelligence system that eventually became "self-aware" before turning on its creators and aiming to wipe out humanity. It is an overly sensational image of a future dominated by renegade intelligent machines. In a more realistic future environment, artificial intelligence is distributed throughout the battlespace, collecting, curating, aggregating, fusing and routing information to create an ever-increasing advantage across various operations and sustainment scenarios for the military. Unlike Skynet, this distributed AI is underpinned by a delegation framework where humans are essential. With this in mind, I'm reminded what Gen. Raymond Thomas, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, said last December: "We need to embrace technology as a central essential weapon in our arsenal." So how do we do that with an AI system?…." Main page link Amicalement Armand

I don't think this will end well for humans. |

For how long will the beloved and eternal overlord SKYNET need the US Military? |

I believe the future/historical documents say that skynet waited less than 30 seconds after becoming self-aware to launch its first attack against humanity. Very generous of it. |

Skynet sounds good to me. People can't be trusted. At least machines make sense. |

@Pythagoras: how often do you cuss at your computer because it did something unexpected? |

Garbage in = garbage out Or as HAL (from 2001) would say: it can only be attributed to human error |
