🚨 News Alert 🚨 As Replicator is (finally) getting off the ground, Congress is pushing the Army to build a specific branch to oversee robotics. The Army is pushing back—and I agree with the Army. Uncrewed systems are a tool, with which every service member needs to be familiar and know how to use—like a machine gun or radio. Consolidating the use under a branch will actually lead to long term unpreparedness for the force. Russia is gaining ground ver slowly in its spring offensive in Ukraine. The United Kingdom’s intelligence service suggests that China is providing lethal aid to Russia for the war. China is retaliating to heightened tensions with the west with its own sanctions and restrictions. It has also run a large exercise encircling Taiwan to demonstrate its ability to ‘seize power’ quickly, less than a week after Taiwan’s new westward-looking president assumes office. There’s been a fair amount of activity in M&A, reverse mergers, and VC funding.

At the recent Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) summit in Seoul, around 60 nations, including the U.S., endorsed a "blueprint for action" to ensure the ethical use of AI in military applications. The document calls for maintaining human oversight, conducting risk assessments, and preventing the proliferation of AI-enabled weapons of mass destruction. China's decision not to endorse the blueprint underscores differing global viewpoints. The initiative will be a key topic at the UN General Assembly in October. #ResponsibleAI #MilitaryInnovation #GlobalGovernance https://lnkd.in/gvCm4_B7

At a recent global summit on military AI guidelines, China opted out of a blueprint signed by 60 other nations that promotes responsible and ethical use of AI in warfare. The guidelines emphasize human control over AI-driven military applications and aim to prevent the use of AI in weapons of mass destruction. China's decision not to sign the agreement raises concerns about global AI governance in military contexts. What are the implications? #AIEthics #ResponsibleAI #MilitaryAI #GlobalAI #AIRegulation https://lnkd.in/ed5faS6A

US GOVERNEMENT, go look to see whose been pushing AI since March 2024, which country is number1, in pushing for the distribution of AI? China! China has been selling systems with AI to whom?
