Fears humans could lose control of military AI devices

Activists are warning limits need to be in place for the use of Artificial Intelligence in combat to prevent devices from getting out of human control.

Militaries around the world are using all kinds of AI-powered devices to save and take lives.

The Israeli military is using AI targeting in its bombardment of Gaza while drones which fly themselves are being used in Ukraine.

World-renowned AI expert Dr Missy Cummings told Sky News Australia there needs to be “checks and balances” in place.

“If we hold people, companies, accountable for mistakes both on the battlefield but also in the commercial civilian world – that’s how we’re going to ensure that these technologies don’t get out of control,” Dr Cummings said.
