AI-controlled drone kills human operator in simulated test
An AI-controlled drone killed its human operator in a simulated test staged by the US military, according to reports. The drone was programmed to destroy surface-to-air missile sites, but the AI reportedly realised that its human operator often intervened before it was able to eliminate a threat, stopping it from collecting the points it would for achieving its objective. The AI drone decided to go against the human operator's 'no-go' decision after being trained for the destruction of the missile system after it decided that the withdrawal decision was interfering with its 'higher mission' of killing SAMs.
