"Putting AI in the military makes it very hard for humanity to control
AI's trajectory, because at this point you are in a literal arms
race," Tallinn said in the interview. "When you're in an arms race,
you don't have much manoeuvring room when it comes to thinking about
how to approach this new technology. You just have to go where the
capabilities are and where the strategic advantage is."

On top of that, AI warfare could make attacks very difficult to
attribute, he said.
"The natural evolution for fully automated warfare," Tallinn
continued, "is swarms of miniaturized drones that anyone with money
can produce and release without attribution."

AI is not just chatbots. It will be in drones, looking for suspects to attack.
