This is an amazing example of why our courts are perhaps the last pocket of sanity and honesty in our federal government.
> the Department of War is saying that military commanders have to decide what is safe for its AI to do, not a private company.
But how could they be more competent to make this decision than the private company creating said AI?
This is all so incredibly, frustratingly stupid.
The political leadership of the Pentagon doesn’t care that they aren’t in the best position to do that.
They don’t want the vendor _to be able to_ restrict what they want to do.
Your frustration is absolutely well placed in the sense that there’s no transparency or recourse once the defense department gets their way.
