So what do you think guys?!!

Elon Musk once warned that AI is more dangerous than nuclear warheads and needs to be controlled to avoid its catastrophic effect on humanity. The Tesla and SpaceX boss warned that the development of these superintelligences might get to a stage where its creators might not be able to control them. Some artificial intelligence analysts have called Elon's concern a false alarm and that his doomsday predictions are unnecessary. Elon Musk has invested heavily in Artificial intelligence, so maybe he knows what we don't.

Regarding nuclear warheads, everyone knows that their effect can devastate the earth. Now I am more interested and concerned about the integration or application of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons. There is a recent discussion in NATO, where member nations are considering restricting the use of AI in nuclear weapons systems.

Should artificial intelligence be banned from nuclear weapons systems

This was actually the first thing that comes into mind when you read artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons in the same sentence.

Integrating AIs to weapons of mass destruction is just wrong. These can possibly malfunction at any time and may trigger these weapons to wherever it is pointed at, causing unspeakable destruction and loss of lives when in fact it can be prevented if the old methods are instilled in place. I believe that the discussions started by NATO is relevant, considering that a lot of autonomous weapons nowadays are controlled by AI.

Going back to the topic though, nuclear weapons are a lot more concerning in present times than AI. As of the moment, the AIs we're seeing are only limit to their intended capabilities, kind of like having macros but a rather more sophisticated and advanced version. We're far from actual artificial intelligence, but the different conflicts around the world is very near and is happening on a daily basis, which could spark an all-out war any time soon.
