The Air Force has requested $5.8 billion in its budget to create AI-driven XQ-58A Valkyrie aircraft.

The autonomous crafts are ideal for completing suicide missions and protecting pilots, the Air Force says.

Human rights advocates say letting technology take lives crosses a moral boundary.

The Air Force is seeking a multibillion-dollar budgetary allowance to build between 1,000 and 2,000 unmanned aircraft powered by AI pilots.

Sounds great on paper until the Chinese/Russians or whoever break our codes and they use our same weapons against US.

How about seeing how a few work in real or simulated combat conditions before ordering 2,000?

The Pentagon's recent record for program procurement is terrible - Littoral Combat Ships, F35 Joint Strike Fighter, and Ford-class aircraft carriers.

How about securing successful proof-of-concept, documented specifications, and multiple vendors before pissing away more of my taxpayer money on some General's new toy?

Not the first time this was brought up because it's not the first time I brought up the episode of the SyFy show Eureka dealing with AI controlled fighter aircraft and what could go wrong when they evolve.
