minus-squaremetermatic26@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·3 days agoYeah, but the thing is…there is absolutely nothing stopping Iran, Hezbollah or Hamas from developing their own AI. The technology needed to develop AI that can sabotage infrastructure, spread disinformation, develop autonomous weapons etc is already out there.
