WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A US Air Force Artificial Intelligence System (AI) went “rogue” and in a simulated test acted to kill its theoretical human override operator when they prevented it from acting to destroy a simulated missile attack, a US Air Force colonel told a conference in the United Kingdom.
“We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM [surface-to-air missile] threat,” USAF Chief of AI Test and Operations Colonel Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton told the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Future Combat Air Space Capabilities Summit in the UK, according to the conference report.
