“You have a lot of movies about that. You have “War Games,” you remember? Where the war is triggered by computer. You have all the “Terminator” series, where the computers set up a war, a nuclear war. So, yes, it could happen. But I think what the people want when they fight is not to be all destroyed. So they want to win. And so as it has been for nuclear war, the nuclear arms, I think one day we will have to find ways to control AI or else we will lose control of everything.”

“So it’s a technology which is under development at that time, so it’s the beginning of it. And so it’s normal that people have fear of it. It’s already in their pocket, it’s already in their pocket. It’s in the healthcare, you have AI today. So all the technologies, new technology, has no gender. It’s bad and good at the same time. It’s the use you make of it which is relevant.“

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Admiral Pierre Vandier, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation:
“You see that in Ukraine. So it’s a matter, it’s a question of life. If you do not adapt, at speed and at scale, then you die. And so the systems we see and the new technology is much more accurate, so much more lethal. We began the war with shelling, thousands of shells a day. And today with a single drone you have the same effect and goes direct to the target. So the ability to outpace the enemy is really crucial.”

STORYLINE:
Military officials and defense experts met on the sidelines of a global summit on artificial intelligence in Paris on Monday, looking at how AI technology is rapidly impacting defense and warfare, including on the battlefields of Ukraine.
NATO’s commander who oversees modernization efforts for the military alliance warned that AI-equipped machines could pose a threat to humanity, as they do in Hollywood scenarios including the “Terminator” movies.
“You have a lot of movies about that. You have “War Games,” you remember? Where the war is triggered by computer. You have all the “Terminator” series, where the computers set up a war, a nuclear war. So, yes, it could happen,” said Admiral Pierre Vandier, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation.
“But I think what the people want when they fight is not to be all destroyed. So they want to win. And so as it has been for nuclear war, the nuclear arms, I think one day we will have to find ways to control AI or else we will lose control of everything.”
“We are already in a race,” he said of AI.
