I'm sorry, but this is beyond insane:

Biden, Xi set to pledge ban on AI in autonomous weapons like drones, nuclear warhead control: sources

If Biden signs on to this, he's a Chinese agent. Period.

In a landmark agreement set to be announced at Wednesday's much-awaited bilateral meeting, Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping are poised to pledge a ban on the use of artificial intelligence in autonomous weaponry, such as drones, and in the control and deployment of nuclear warheads, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to the Post.

Bad idea. The only shot we have in containing China in the Pacific is by using multiple autonomous weapons systems because in a game of numbers, they have more. They always will. Militarily their aim is to produce decent enough hardware in numbers to overwhelm and enemy.

This agreement locks that strategy in place and puts us at a massive disadvantage. We are the world leaders in AI; it's not even close. Why cede that advantage?

Besides - is anyone naive enough to think they'll abide by the deal?
