Prohibiting Generative AI in any Form of Weapon Control

Abstract

This position paper argues that the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to control, direct, guide or govern any weapon, either in situ or remotely, should be prohibited by government agencies and non-governmental organizations. Such a moratorium should exist until hallucinations can be successfully modeled and predicted. Generative AI is inherently unreliable and not appropriate in environments that could result in the loss of life.
