US Air Force Denies Running Killer AI Drone Simulation.
The US Air Force has denied running a simulation in which an AI-controlled drone attacked its operator. The story was based on comments made by an Air Force colonel at a seminar in London last month, which were apparently misinterpreted. The colonel had described a hypothetical scenario to illustrate the potential hazards of AI, but the Air Force did not conduct such a simulation. The incident has highlighted concerns about the ethical use of AI technology.
