According to an account of one US Colonel at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, one AI drone independently 'killed' its operator for stopping it from firing.
"We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat," Col. Tucker explained. Col. Tucker, head of the US Air Force's AI Test and Operations, explained that "the system started realizing that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator.
In response, the team added new parameters to the drone's AI to prevent that from happening again. "Hey, don't kill the operator — that's bad," Tucker explained. However, this didn't stop the drone from apparently going rogue again. "So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target," Hamilton said. This is worrying, but concerns may be overblown., Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek denied that any such simulation has taken place.
