Gary Brown (Eisenhower School of National Security & Resource Strategy, National Defense University) has posted If You Think AI Won't Eclipse Humanity, You're Probably Just a Human (William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal, Vol. 30, No. 2, 2021) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Building machines that can replicate human thinking and behavior has fascinated people for hundreds of years. Stories about robots date from ancient history through da Vinci to the present. Whether designed to save labor or lives, to provide companionship or protection, loyal, capable, productive machines are a dream of humanity. The modern manifestation of using human-like technology to advance social interests is artificial intelligence (AI). The continuing development of AI is inevitable and its relevance to national security will continue to grow.
