We know the new so-called not-so-supreme leader is wounded and likely disfigured.
Thanks so much.
I think the thing that I've discovered is that this effort to bring AI to war that started in 2017 with Project Maven, and then we learned much less about it after Google workers protested and Google obviously didn't renew its contract.
But the effort kept going in two key ways.
We already publicly know about one of them, which is Maven's smart system, the system designed by Palantir, but including lots and lots of different data feeds to help narrow down target selection on a sort of digital, almost a Google Earth platform.
That's one thing.
But the thing that we really look at in the story that we've published today is the way that the military has tried to put AI
onto drones.
This is this big effort that, of course, is at the center of Dario Amadei's concern about the development of fully autonomous weapons and the way AI might be used in it.
I've looked at one element, which is computer vision.
That isn't the thing that he was worried about.
He's worried about LLMs.
But the effort to get computer vision onto drones is about allowing drones to recognize targets, select them, and then be able to execute fire on them.
