"Keeping a human in the loop may not provide the safeguard people imagine, because the human cannot know the AI’s intention before it acts. Advanced AI systems do not simply execute instructions; they interpret them. If operators fail to define their objectives carefully enough—a highly likely scenario in high-pressure situations—the “black box” system could be doing exactly what it was told and still not acting as humans intended.

This “intention gap” between AI systems and human operators is precisely why we hesitate to deploy frontier black-box AI in civilian health care or air traffic control, and why its integration into the workplace remains fraught—yet we are rushing to deploy it on the battlefield.

To make matters worse, if one side in a conflict deploys fully autonomous weapons, which operate at machine speed and scale, the pressure to remain competitive would push the other side to rely on such weapons too. This means the use of increasingly autonomous—and opaque—AI decision-making in war is only likely to grow."

"These developments point to a deeper structural reality, that the US national growth model is increasingly organised around a triangular system between private credit financing, AI infrastructure, and military demand. The financial and real economic fragility of which the private credit liquidity crisis is a symptom, is intersecting and converging with AI in structurally significant ways. While disrupting the software services universe, AI is absorbing large sums of capital for investments in chip production, data centres and related infrastructure (including in requirements such as land, energy sources, cooling systems, and computing capacity). A significant share of that investment is being funded with credit from private credit vehicles. It is now emerging that the hype around AI, driven by the surging demand for high-end chips produced by ‘market-favourite’ Nvidia and newer entrants like AMD, is now being questioned by the lack-lustre returns from deployment of AI by downstream businesses. While some firms do record revenue growth from AI use or deployment, the investment needed is proving to be difficult to justify for many others. So, the demand and revenue growth projections implicit in the rising valuations of AI firms themselves increasingly appear to be driven by hype rather than reasoned, evidence-backed judgements."

Is ChatGPT secretly funding the next global war? In this massive case study, we expose the terrifying reality of AI in modern warfare. From Anthropic’s explosive fallout with the US government over mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, to OpenAI's controversial decision to step in and take the military contract.

Blaming AI error for the US attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh misses the point, argues Kevin Baker. This isn’t something better guardrails or algorithms could have stopped. The real fault lies with the people who decided to compress kill chains, build systems that generate thousands of targeting decisions each hour, and launch illegal wars 👇
