"The Department of the Air Force has not conducted any such AI-drone simulations and remains committed to ethical and responsible use of AI technology. It appears the colonel’s comments were taken out of context and were meant to be anecdotal.”

@jeffjarvis @markloundy This sounds a bit like a non-denial. If his comments were meant to be anecdotal, of what real event were they anecdotal?

@jeffjarvis This is a decent movie exploring this type of subject. I don't think it implausible in some future and taking heed now may build the necessary rules in any system to stop it from ever happening. In this case the drone should also be rewarded for not doing certain things, like taking out obstacles that are there for good reason. Again, understanding its speculative simulation and this is just a movie.
