Fears Pentagon was ‘building killer robots’ sparks stricter AI rules

In response to fears about the development of killer robots, the Pentagon has tightened its AI rules, mandating approval for all autonomous systems before deployment.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is updating its directives to create a clear framework for the development and deployment of lethal autonomous systems, aiming to ease public concerns while maintaining responsible behavior.

The use of AI-powered weapons is a topic of international concern, with advocates calling for global measures to monitor and regulate the military use of artificial intelligence.
