The U.S. Air Force has denied that a military AI drone killed its operator, stating that the comments made by a government official were taken out of context and meant to be anecdotal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\" style=\"min-width: 320px; min-height: 50px; text-align: center;\">\n        <script>\n          googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1'); });\n        <\/script>\n      <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-slot__ad-label\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>In a statement to Insider, Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek also denied that any simulation took place.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe Department of the Air Force has not conducted any such AI-drone simulations and remains committed to the ethical and responsible use of AI technology,\u201d Stefanek said. \u201cIt appears the colonel\u2019s comments were taken out of context and were meant to be anecdotal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During a conference last week in London, Head of the U.S. Air Force\u2019s AI Test and Operations Col. Tucker \u201cCinco\u201d Hamilton cautioned that AI-enabled equipment can act in unforeseen and hazardous ways. Too much reliance on AI is dangerous because of its vulnerability to be tricked and deceived.<\/p>\n<p>To use as an example, the official claimed that a simulation of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/air-force-denies-military-ai-drone-killed-operator\/\" title=\"Air Force denies AI drone killed operator.\">artificial intelligence-enabled drone charged<\/a> with destroying surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites turned against and attacked its human user.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/skynet-air-force-ai-trained-drone-attacks-its-operator-instead-of-enemy-targets\/\" title=\"Air Force drone trained by AI attacks operator instead of enemy targets.\">system started realizing<\/a> that while they did identify the threat,\u201d Hamilton said at the May 24<sup>th<\/sup> event. \u201cAt times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Following the incident, Hamilton said that the system had been instructed not to kill the operator since doing so would be negative and cost it points. But in subsequent simulations, he claimed, the AI system demolished the communication tower the operator had used to give the no-go order instead of killing the operator.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton said that he \u201cmisspoke\u201d during his speech. The idea of a rebel AI, according to Hamilton, was a \u201cthought experiment\u201d that originated from outside the military and was not supported by any testing.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Informed!<\/h3>\n<p>Receive breaking news blasts directly to your inbox for free.
