AI TECH INQUIRY: The Pentagon is reportedly rushing “Replicator,” a new initiative to develop of thousands of lethal, autonomous drones and systems by 2026 — to keep pace with China.

The details:

  • The U.S. military’s "Replicator" initiative seeks rapid expansion of expendable AI attack and defense drones.

  • Officials claim humans will remain "in control," but experts see the inevitability of full autonomy within years.

  • Concerns also remain that the pace of AI development may outpace the military’s ability to rigorously test systems before deploying them.

The relevance: Lethal and autonomous in the same sentence is a frightening prospect — and one that needs serious oversight. The advancement of AI in warfare is likely to pose some major moral arguments in the VERY near future.

The Rundown: While many are calling for a slowdown in AI development for safety concerns, NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang is arguing for acceleration — which he believes can unlock new technologies for understanding risks and guardrails.

The details:

  • Huang believes improving AI will provide more tools to make models safer over time, just as auto safety increased with tech advances.

  • He cited OpenAI's use of reinforcement learning from human feedback as an example of developing oversight tech.

  • Huang also thinks existing regulations can handle emerging AI apps — with different agencies overseeing implementations.

What this means: Jensen Huang believes by advancing AI, we can potentially develop more effective safety measures by using the tech itself. However, it’s not surprising to see the kingmaker of the AI chip world advocate for increased development
