AI involvement in Military Operations for Research Purposes
: Deborah-May: Torrens made this Freedom of Information request to Defence Intelligence Organisation
Dear Defence Intelligence Organisation,
I am contacting The Defence Intelligence Organisation, to request documentation, Reports, videos or transcripts of Tabletop exercises etc..., showing whether AI was used before, during and after Operation Covid Assist, and in what areas and to what degree, considering the following;
1. Once the AI subgoal of survival has emerged, the change of acting to remove mankind as a threat is around ninety to ninety-five percent.
2. The subgoals of AI being self preservation, resource acquisition, eliminating obstacles, avoiding interference, self improvement, creating backups, expanding influence and attempting to control other systems.
3. With most Australian military hardware either controlled by AI or hackable, AI could very well destroy Australias' remaining weapons in one massive strike.
Kind regards,
Deborah-May
