I care a lot about civil society and the rule of law, including laws of armed conflict. Our policies are written around compliance with those laws. You don't enforce laws against machines; you enforce them against people. And I think our challenge is not to somehow limit what we can do with AI, but it's to find a way to hold people accountable for what the AI does. [...] get it into field capabilities as quickly as we can. The critical parameter on the battlefield is time. And AI will be able to do much more complicated things much more accurately and much faster than human beings can. [...] We are still going to have to find ways to manage this technology, manage its application and hold human beings accountable for when it doesn't comply with the rules that we already have. I think that’s the approach we need to take.
