A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries’ because “our society is a Judeo-Christian society.”

That would be funny if it wasn’t so horrifying.
As the final leopard eats the final face of the final human it will turn to the judeao christian deity in the corner which turns out to have been an AI all along
Of course - because nothing says “morality” and “ethics” like telling your followers to go and slaughter their own families if they don’t believe in your particular version of your imaginary friend.
Or like ordering your generals to slaughter tens of thousands of captured civilians and keep only the female virgins alive as spoils of war.
What could go wrong if we teach AI the barbaric “ethics” of Abrahamic monotheism as the foundation to its decision-making?

This is a dumb argument. Humans of any background are capable of wartime atrocities, and all have committed them. Human-developed AI will do no better. And when AI inevitably errs, killing innocents, they will refuse to give up on it. Things will get worse.

Neither the US nor Judeo-Christianity has a monopoly on ethics. The US itself is a mess as morals and ethics slip away. I don’t even need to get started on religion and all the bullshit there.

A fucking 3-star general should know 1 and 2 above, and he damn sure shouldn’t be spouting nonsense on behalf of the USAF. This jackass should be force-retired immediately.

Don’t worry, when the USA military says something will be used “ethically”, what they mean is that they won’t use that thing to kill “red blooded, white skinned 'mericans”. The judeo-christian roots are there to ensure that muslims are dealt with extra prejudice.
