In a viral video, an engineer named STS 3D showcased his AI-powered robotic rifle system built in his garage, using OpenAI’s ChatGPT to give voice commands. The video evoked comparisons to Skynet from The Terminator and caught the attention of many. OpenAI eventually cut off STS 3D’s access to ChatGPT due to concerns about using AI for weapons. However, OpenAI recently partnered with defense contractor Anduril to develop AI weapons, sparking debates about the ethical implications of AI in warfare. The rise of DIY AI weapons projects poses a new and dangerous threat, as regulation struggles to keep up with technological advancements.
