The Anduril and OpenAI strategic partnership will focus on improving the nation’s counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) and their ability to detect, assess and respond to potentially lethal aerial threats in real-time.
[...]
The accelerating race between the United States and China to lead the world in advancing AI makes this a pivotal moment. If the United States cedes ground, we risk losing the technological edge that has underpinned our national security for decades.
[...]
These models, which will be trained on Anduril’s industry-leading library of data on CUAS threats and operations, will help protect U.S. and allied military personnel and ensure mission success.
The era of AGI means humans can no longer afford to live in a world of militarily competing nations. Whatever slim hope there might be for alignment and AI not-kill-everyone is sunk by militaries trying to out-compete each other in development of creatively malevolent and at least somewhat unaligned martial AI. At minimum we can’t afford non-democratic or theocratically ruled nations, or even nations with unaccountable power-unto-themselves military, intelligence or science bureaucracies to control nukes, pathogen building biolabs or AGI. It will be necessary to enforce this even at the cost of war.
