The era of government-controlled killer robots is upon us.

And theres nothing in the current US policy to stop that from happening.

Per theFederation of American Scientists:

40% off TNW Conference!

The future of US AI policy may hinge on a pretend war against a fictional China

The Army has a program called Project Convergence.

Background:Modern command and control is dominated by something called the OODA loop.

OODA stands for observe, orient, decide, and act.

The OODA Loop, theoretically, can be automated.

And thats why Project Convergence will conduct a series of wargames this fall againsta fictional countrymeant to represent China.

Quick take:Project Convergence is playing chess against itself here.

This is exactly what every AI ethicist has been warning about.

Its the next atomic bomb.
