""We do not have long to act," the letter read. "Once this Pandora's box is opened, it will be hard to close.""
""the decision to take a human life should never be delegated to a machine""
""we will neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons.""
Elon Musk signed a 2017 open letter urging the United Nations to ban autonomous weapons and a 2018 pledge refusing delegation of lethal decisions to machines. SpaceX and xAI are competing in a Pentagon contest to build voice-controlled autonomous drone swarming technology, with an estimated $100 million prize and a contest launched last month. The program aims to develop the concept through five phases from software to real-life testing. Experts express concern about using generative AI to command lethal drones given current large language model hallucinations. The effort involves the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group and the Defense Innovation Unit, and the drones are expected to perform offensive as well as reconnaissance roles.
