The Pentagon's first software chief RESIGNS in protest because the US has 'already lost' the AI war with China and is '20 years behind its technology'
2021-10-12
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The Pentagon's first ever chief software officer Nicolas Chaillan said he resigned over U.S. inaction on technological developments in the military

  • He says China has already won the Artificial Intelligence battle

  • 'Right now, it's already a done deal – it is already over in my opinion,' he said in an interview published Sunday. 'Whether it takes a war or not is kind of anecdotal'

  • Comments come as China threatened Taiwan with military action as it plans to 'reunify' with the island

#4  From the article:
He also stepped down to create his own encrypted defence technology because he was frustrated by the 'archaic' systems in B-2 stealth bombers.

I can affirm that the systems on the B-2 are archaic.

#3  There is no question that China is leaning into AI really hard and will not be deterred by lawfare and international rules about "man in the loop". My take is someone bought Mr Chaillan.

#1  Not true. Not sure what his real beef is but not true. I know a young man who works for a military contractor who wrote incredible AI when he was 15 years old and is pushing out AI that will blow youmond dear leader XI.
