The AI that killed his boss.

Colonel Hamilton of the United States Air Force, is an expert in Artificial Intelligence and told a story about a combat simulation with an Artificial Intelligence that had ended up rebelling against its human operator or boss and had virtually killed him.

A few days later, Colonel Hamilton clarified his words: "we have never performed that experiment nor would we need to do so to realize that this is a plausible result, even though it is a hypothetical example that illustrates the challenges of the real world, which raises the capability driven by artificial intelligence, and that is why the Air Force is committed to the ethical development of artificial intelligence.

The next day practically, the spokeswoman for the air force, Ana Stefanet, came out and said the following: “the department of the air force has not carried out any simulations with artificial intelligence drones, and remains committed to the ethical and responsible use of intelligence technology. artificial, it appears that the Colonel's comments were taken out of context and were intended to be anecdotal," the spokeswoman said.

The story was told by a military intelligence expert, Colonel Hamilton, and he didn't do it in a bar or in an informal interview of those funny ones, like the ones on a television show, no, the story was told at the Royal Aeronautical Society, during a event that was held between may 23 and 24, the event was entitled "summit of future air and special combat capabilities" and skynet was not invented by the media or social networks have been put by them.

We are going to assume that this artificial intelligence simulation was never carried out and that it was all a hypothetical example, which the colonel has given, I buy it, but we cannot forget that the hypothetical example was made by Colonel Hamilton, an expert in the field, who He knows at what point the development of Artificial Intelligence for military use is reaching and that he himself has declared in his correction after telling that story, in his own correction he has declared that it is a plausible result, so what was that hypothetical experiment that could be plausible.

At the conference, the colonel narrated a strange case during a hypothetical simulation in which an Artificial Intelligence controlled a combat drone, the Artificial Intelligence earned points and managed to locate and eliminate an enemy threat, however, as part of the experiment there was a human operator. that he could order not to attack, despite the fact that the artificial intelligence had successfully located the threat.

The problem began when within that hypothetical drill that the colonel has given as an example, artificial intelligence realized it and came to the conclusion that the human operator was an obstacle to fulfilling its objective of eliminating the threat and obtaining the points with This is why he decided to kill its human operator and then liquidate the threat, that was the story the colonel told during that hypothetical virtual simulation, there were no real casualties.

The story continued and became even more interesting or amazing, the colonel went on to tell that after that the military continued with the simulation, the hypothetical simulation, but instructing the artificial intelligence to know that killing the human operator is bad and that he would lose points, the reaction of the artificial intelligence was revealed again, although this time he did not kill the human operator, what he did was something more surprising, he destroyed the control tower that the operator used to communicate with the artificial intelligence and in this way he avoided receiving the order that prevented him from eliminating the threat, this is even more amazing because it implies a more elaborate plan to achieve his objective.

The colonel expresses that you cannot have a conversation about artificial intelligence if you do not also talk about ethics, the colonel placed a lot of emphasis and gave great importance to introducing ethics as a programming concept for artificial intelligence because otherwise we would be a possible skynet.
