The Air Force's Chief of AI Test and Operations initially said an AI drone "killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective."

A USAF official who was quoted saying the Air Force conducted a simulated test where an AI drone killed its human operator is now saying he “misspoke” and that the Air Force never ran this kind of test, in a computer simulation or otherwise.

sounds like a load of bs to me…

      My opinion is that the whole thing was made up. Probably they were just considering imaginary worst case scenarios. There is no currently AI in the world that will destroy comms networks or kill their supervisor to maximise some numerical score unless any safeguards were intentionally not built into it.
