Should the government invest in artificial intelligence (AI) for defense applications?

No

Yes, if it is heavily monitored and not in full control.

It depends on what for because certain things would be dangerous to have artificial intelligence control

I feel AI is not the most effective or the most humane route to take. Instead, hire ACTUAL people and pay them fair wages.

Yes, but there needs to be human intervention at some level - especially in critical or potentially lethal situations. Ethics teams should be involved.

No, the German government should focus on digitalization first, before jumping into AI hive, which they have little expertise.

Depends on the context, German workers should not be replaced. But AI is helpful

No, AI is too unreliable to be used for anything nearly as serious as defense. If there is any risk that it could harm an innocent person, it should not be used.

No, AI should not decide over important strategic decisions.

Yes, but with strict monitoring of appropriate and ethical application from more than one independent organisation or governmental body.

Yes, but place strict regulations until we can confidently assess how AI affects our military capabilities.

If AI systems are used for cyber defense, do you believe they can truly keep up with human hackers or outmaneuver them?

How might AI in defense change the way governments and soldiers view the concept of 'sacrifice' in war, and is that a good thing?

What are your thoughts on who should be held responsible if an AI system makes a mistake that results in the loss of lives during a conflict?

How do you personally feel about the idea of autonomous drones deciding whether to engage in combat without human input?

Could AI in military strategies one day reduce human casualties or will it simply lead to more advanced forms of warfare?

Do you think letting machines make life-and-death decisions in military conflicts is a necessary step forward or does it cross an ethical line?

How do you think the use of AI in national defense aligns with our values around human rights and justice?

Could you trust a machine to defend your country, or does that responsibility need to stay with humans no matter what?

What worries you more: nations not adopting AI fast enough in defense or developing AI too quickly without enough oversight?

Do you think AI could help prevent wars from happening or will it just escalate arms races between countries?
