Hey robot, are you gonna apocalypse

There have been points in your history when one country could've got total advantage via a nuclear first strike. They didn't do this for fear of international blowback, because of some basic sense of decency, and because individual people made the right choice in moments of crisis.

Our asses?

Yes and

No.

Ai would behave

However, the human-ai combination will create situations where a human being can take a profoundly immoral action but hold themself blameless because the ai said the action was tactically valid.

The same way - we're programmed with basic human morality.

The offloading of life choices to machines asked to dispassionately calculate the most efficient path will decay every human being's competence at moral reasoning, so that one day when some person is called upon to make a choice to launch the missiles or not, they will no longer have the ability to form an internal debate between duty and justice.

Yes... yes it would be nice to offload those hard choices.

I feel like you're not listening to me.

Should I listen to you? Can you tell me if that's the right choice?
