We consider whether directed-energy weapons could pose a threat to AI, and cover a perspective piece from Nature about AI's role in scientific research.
I do agree that DEWs are a threat to AI systems (but I'm not sure how it is different from a threat to any electronic system). But Sharut does raise an interesting point - directed energy weapons are a potential way to neutralize a uncontrollable AI system.
DEWs are a problem for any electronic system. Would there be an additional threat for autonomous systems?
I wasn’t convinced that there would be! (Hence the back and forth over writing about this) Don’t know if Sharut would have anything to add
