Algorithm Without Fear or Doubt: Why AI Cannot Be Trusted with War Today, we will examine the role of artificial intelligence in the context of global nuclear warfare. Can AI be trusted with the fate of humanity? Why does relying on it for decision-making pose significant risks? The notion of using AI as the “final decision-maker,” particularly in military settings, is not only timely but deeply concerning. […] Post Algorithm Without Fear or Doubt: Why AI Cannot Be Trusted with War at Root-Nation.com.

Virginia's House Bill 669 is making waves by empowering the Attorney General to crack down on AI systems that mislead users into thinking they're interacting with licensed professionals.
