Militaries use mistake-prone AI, fueling civilian casualties; AI ethics leader warns of entrenched bias

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new report from the AI Now Institute and Airwars, titled "Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain," highlights the dangerous reliance on error-prone AI systems in military operations in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran. The report details how chained AI algorithms, each with inherent flaws, can lead to faulty targeting and civilian casualties, exacerbated by human tendency to accept AI recommendations without verification. Separately, AI ethics leader Timnit Gebru discusses how artificial intelligence entrenches societal biases and inequality, noting that the internet, used for AI training, represents hegemonic and biased views, citing Wikipedia as an example of overwhelming Western and male perspectives.
