Three months hence (at the time of this writing), Chenxi Wang's superlative presentation detailing trust in an artificial intelligence epoch is still highly apropos, I reckon.

The DOD AI Mineshaft Gap

April 13, 2018 by Marc Handelman in Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Irony, Mineshaft Gap

Interestingly written reportage - crafted by Matt Stroud (Matt is a reporter employed by The Center for Public Integrity) for The Verge, divulges little of the loathing of AI at the United States Department of Defence, but, little is all that's required to grok the problematic view of artificial intelligence and warfighting. Ladies and Gentlemen, We are in a AI Gap!

The Money Quote: "He called for more serious work by the Pentagon, saying, “There might be an artificial intelligence arms race, but we are not yet in it.” America’s adversaries, he said, “understand very well the possible utility of machine learning. I think it’s time we did as well.” - via

The Council on Foreign Relations has published an superlative thought piece - written by Adam Segal - targeting security implications to artificial intelligence. Today's Must Read.

"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently fought over whether artificial intelligence (AI) posed an existential threat to humanity. Musk made the case AI machines could eventually become self-aware and dispose of their human masters, like in the movie Ex Machina, whereas Zuckerberg argued humanity had nothing to fear." via a blog posting written by Adam Segal for the Council on Foreign Relations
