Raw LLM Responses

They're not talking about a general AI, they're talking about automated weapons systems that can target and kill people without intervention. So, perhaps a drone where you could select and 1km x 1km square and order it to kill all humans within the area, which could then deploy high resolution cameras, image recognition and conventional weapons. I'm not sure how something like this would actually be a systemic threat to Western countries, which are already protected by nuclear weapons. A country like North Korea having nuclear weapons is much more of a threat than it having automated weapons. But if these systems are developed, and become generally acceptable, it raises enormous moral questions about ongoing warfare and perhaps even control of civilizans. If the West developed and sold technology like this, dictatorial governments would be almost impossible to overthrow, with automated sentries around their palaces and drones that could be deployed at the touch of a single button to disperse protests. This is not a happy vision of the future.
