Last Wednesday, March 11, China issued an official warning to the United States about the dangers of a "reckless" military use of artificial intelligence, comparing a possible future to the apocalypse of the movie 'Terminator'. It was the spokesman for China's Ministry of Defense, Jiang Bin, who signed a blunt statement on this aspect.
The Chinese leader said that the unrestricted application of AI in warfare could lead to a "technological runaway" where machines make life-or-death decisions about humans. He also argues that allowing algorithms to decide military attacks erodes human responsibility and the sovereignty of nations.
Jiang Bin, spokesman for China's Ministry of Defense: "It undermines the ethical foundations and responsibilities in time of war"
"Continuing to push the boundaries of AI militarization, using it as a tool to violate the sovereignty of other nations, allowing it to unduly influence war decisions and letting algorithms have life-and-death power over human beings not only undermines ethical foundations and responsibilities in wartime, but also risks a loss of technological control," the spokesman said."A dystopia like the one described in the US movie 'Terminator' could one day become a reality," said Jiang Bin. It is worth noting that this message comes after Donald Trump's administration sought the unconditional use of AI companies in the military field.
In this regard, The Pentagon last week included Anthropic on a "blacklist" after it refused to allow its Claude model to be used for mass surveillance and lethal autonomous warfare. The US intends to incorporate artificial intelligence as much as possible into its military strategies and is willing to crucify any company that does not comply.
