I would just like to remind everyone of our (computer scientists&#x2F;engineers) failure to check the expansion of the surveillance state we helped build.<p>I am all for the cooperation of the public and private sectors, and I believe it is the only way that we are going to solve the toughest problems we face.<p>However, I also believe that the US Military and State department cannot be trusted with advanced AI&#x27;s. Military AI is at best a secession of accountability for those giving orders, and at worst the most powerful tool for oppression ever created.
