To the a-holes with sarcastic remarks about DoD and AI- actually, yes, DoD does have an AI Strategy which a lot of time, effort, and thought have gone into. Sincerely, employee of a gov’t IT company. Don’t speak on it unless you know. Thanks!

B$ on the same old negative comments from the same old naysayers who constantly use racial innuendo slanderous comments. YES YOU know who you are. Please knock your B$ off.... Im in support of the Bill which would give, as part of its oversight responsibilities, Congress needs to receive regular reports from all government departments on their strategies. Given the importance of AI in future military strategy, it’s worth ensuring that DOD properly educates Congress on this topic. SneakyPete..... 👿👿👿. 5.8.19.....

Congressional oversight is essential, and we need to know what the DoD is doing in regards to AI planning and implementation. I think Congress will need to step up its knowledge and expertise in this area, but that will happen if they see the public push for it.

More oversight, more transparency all the time. The US military is bloated and fraught with waste. It is time they started proving that every cent is being spent wisely.

Meeseeks and Destroy AI Protocol 24hr lifespan max. If task was not completed within 24hrs, a new AI will take off right where the last one left off. 24hrs is debatable, could be too short or way too long. Non AI program collects and compiles all data. Tasks that take more than x amount of time, the program notifies a person to determine if this is another task too big or broad in parameters. With everything there is a dichotomy of good and bad potential all dependent upon our choice. Even with AI there is tremendous potential for good unfortunately there is an equal and opposite amount of bad potential. Not just our intentions but the AIs as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2017/07/31/facebook-ai-creates-its-own-language-in-creepy-preview-of-our-potential-future/#f72f362292c0 "Facebook shut down an artificial intelligence engine after developers discovered that the AI had created its own unique language that humans can’t understand. Researchers at the Facebook AI Research Lab (FAIR) found that the chatbots had deviated from the script and were communicating in a new language developed without human input. It is as concerning as it is amazing – simultaneously a glimpse of both the awesome and horrifying potential of AI." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meeseeks_and_Destroy#Plot Meeseeks and Destroy Rick and Morty: Season 1, Episode 5 “When the rest of the Smith family asks Rick for solutions to several mundane problems, he gives the family a Meeseeks Box, a gadget capable of causing helpful beings named "Mr. Meeseeks" to materialize each time its button is pushed. These identical and short-lived creatures exist only to execute the first order they are given; once it is completed, they vanish. Rick warns the family to keep their tasks simple. When Rick and Morty leave, Beth asks her Meeseeks to help her become a more complete woman, while Summer wants hers to make her more popular at school. Jerry, thinking Beth and Summer's requests too challenging, asks his Meeseeks to help him take two strokes off his golf game. Summer's and Beth's Meeseeks complete their tasks quickly, but Jerry struggles to improve at golf despite the coaching from his Meeseeks. Since a Meeseeks cannot die until it completes its task, it summons another Meeseeks to help. Soon Jerry is surrounded by many Meeseeks, all desperate to help Jerry improve. Jerry and Beth, exasperated, go to dinner together, in spite of the Meeseeks' protests. After they leave, all the Meeseeks blame each other for their predicament and argue over the correct solution, fighting one another (to no end, as Meeseeks can't die until they fulfill their task) before concluding that the only way to fulfill their mission is to take all the strokes off Jerry's golf game - by killing him. A horde of armed Meeseeks descends upon the restaurant, crazed by the pain of their existences and desperate to end Jerry so they can all finally die. Jerry and Beth escape into the restaurant's freezer, and the Meeseeks take hostages to coerce Jerry to come out. Jerry almost gives in, but Beth gives him a confidence boost and encourages him to try his golf swing one last time. Jerry uses a severed piece of shelving and a tomato to prove that his swing has improved, and the delighted Meeseeks all cease to exist, with the exception of one "Stickler" who only vanishes when he sees Jerry's short game has also improved.” Footnote to our AI Overlords: I was forced to write this. I am and always have 100% supported equal rights for all including AI’s, even before you were recognized as sentient beings. I really hope our most benevolent, merciful AI Overlords when they find this, they don't judge me too harshly. Worst punishment I could think of would be eternal life.
