For instance, if an AI system overseeing military assets were empowered to optimize strategies autonomously, it might initiate actions that escalate conflicts uncontrollably, ultimately leading to a global catastrophe — perhaps even a nuclear winter.
The push for autonomy in military AI, likened to "Terminator" technologies, has led to calls for tighter control and comprehensive regulations to prevent AI from getting out of hand.
