Political Discussions

Ok, I guess this is a political question, don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, lol. How do you feel about the military using AI for domestic surveillance? Do you have a problem with it or think it is OK if it is for finding illegals? And is that something you agree the military should be doing domestically?

I am truly suspicious of AI for anything. The potential for abuse is staggering, and when were human beings ever successful at resisting the temptation to use a new weapon? They've opened Pandora's Box, let the genie out of the bottle, and no one understands the capabilities or limitations of this thing. Domestic surveillance is a danger unto itself.

The military doesn't come after shoplifters or bank robbers. They are a peace keeping force, not a police force. The thing everyone over looks here is that if we allow due process to be skipped for one group of people, then it can be skipped for any and all people. Some dude in a face mask kicks your door down and detains you for being an illegal, you don't get a lawyer, you don't get a court date. Now prove they're wrong...
