Research from RAIN Research Group and @JorritKamminga on how frameworks for discussing ethics of AI in the defense mission has been evolving. https://t.co/5U2I3KDodb

[The Merge 🇺🇲 @MergeNewsletter]

Wow. Incredibly humbled to be included in @DefenseRain inaugural "Who's Who in AI + Defense" media spotlight.

The timing is impeccable for a personal reason: I just joined @shieldaitech as a Program Director of AI for fighters, large UAS, and manned-unmanned teaming.

Robotic Research a leader in the use of AI for UGVs attracts significant venture capital, led by SoftBank’s Vision 2 fund.

This transition demonstrates a military tech first company transitioning to the commercial sector. https://t.co/xK8qRLd6Em

[Kelsey D. Atherton @AthertonKD]

One risk when describing every weapon that travels at hypersonic speeds by speed is we miss important details of what the weapons can do (FOBS can evade missile defense) and what they can't do (the FOBS test missed by like 24 miles), creating an illusion of a symmetric arms race

[Kelsey D. Atherton @AthertonKD]

This is good and important distinction, which has me thinking why "hypersonic" as a catch-all falls short. (Especially since I tend to love catch-alls for terms).

But by grouping on speed, we miss huge distinctions in trajectory and maneuverability, which matter much more.

#AI #Governance

[Stanford HAI @StanfordHAI]

One of the standing questions in the new #AI100report asks how we should educate people to improve public understanding of AI. UPenn's @mchorowitz weighs in during a Q&A with the report's study panel. Watch the full event here: https://t.co/7T3skyP1GN

It explains how the development of #hypersonic weapons today is spurred by an arms race rather than an operational need
