I’m curious what they’re actually talking about banning that the article refers to as “AI”. Unless you’re talking about hypothetical future tech or the flavor of the week like LLMs or stable diffusion, it’s pretty much a meaningless term.

Hopefully it’s an entire blanket ban on target decisions. AI has a ton of uses, especially if dumb LLM stuff is included. Human-groomed algorithms won’t be keeping up. It’ll be necessary to use them, but they shouldn’t ever decide who gets boomboomed.

European countries are already working on AI fighter jets and drones.

I think that is more like an advanced auto pilot which can also steer missiles to their target but only if fired by the human. The OP article says they’re banning AI from making the decision to fire the weapon.
