Should the government invest in artificial intelligence (AI) for defense applications?

Yes

Yes in order to keep up with other nations technological advancements

Use ai and manpower to fight wars, and nuclear weapons

Government should not use AI in defense if AI got damage they have to spend more money on them

I would agree but it would be more used for identifying license plates and such not infourcement robots because they don't understand sympathy

I don't really mind whatever is most effective to insure safety

To a certain degree in order to keep up with the technological developments of other nations defence systems but not overly.

No, the AI could easily take over, and they have no sense of remorse, unlike humans (read I have no mouth and I must scream, and watch Terminator 2, then you'll see what destruction AI can cause). They're also easily accessible, corruptible and way to powerful.

No, we could easily be hacked by other countries who could attack knowing our defence system

They should apply AI for only the less important tasks in the defense applications so about 15% of the defense applications should be AI.

i don't think we have enough money and no one wants to attack nz

Maybe, but I don't think it should be a top priority.

Yes, the machine learning of today is not considered true AI

Yes, but dont use it for killing. Only for survailing

If it was in our budget and would benefit our country, sure.

No, and we need to make sure other countries do not use it either

No, not for defence applications, but I am prepared to allow research into AI for technological reasons

How do you think the use of AI in national defense aligns with our values around human rights and justice?

Could AI in military strategies one day reduce human casualties or will it simply lead to more advanced forms of warfare?

What are your thoughts on who should be held responsible if an AI system makes a mistake that results in the loss of lives during a conflict?

How might AI in defense change the way governments and soldiers view the concept of 'sacrifice' in war, and is that a good thing?

If AI systems are used for cyber defense, do you believe they can truly keep up with human hackers or outmaneuver them?

Do you think AI could help prevent wars from happening or will it just escalate arms races between countries?

What worries you more: nations not adopting AI fast enough in defense or developing AI too quickly without enough oversight?

How do you personally feel about the idea of autonomous drones deciding whether to engage in combat without human input?

Do you think letting machines make life-and-death decisions in military conflicts is a necessary step forward or does it cross an ethical line?

Could you trust a machine to defend your country, or does that responsibility need to stay with humans no matter what?
