Donald Trump’s administration turned to Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to launch thousands of missiles in Iran, according to a top defense official.
In a sworn statement defending the trillionaire from a lawsuit alleging xAI data centers are illegally polluting Black communities, the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence chief said the chatbot’s continued operation is “a matter of paramount national security” — and was used to fire more than “2,000 munitions at 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours.”
Grok, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by xAI, is among four AI models “currently capable of supporting national security applications,” according to Cameron Stanley, the Pentagon’s chief digital and artificial intelligence officer.
AI cannot make management decisions. The idea that anyone should hand over responsibility for missile deployment to a machine completely undermines the integrity of any military decision. Also, Grok is a CP creation tool, an evil automaton that should be turned off.
All the misinformation that grok was trained with for political reasons will surely help with good management decisions.
