A group of defense tech startups that includes Anduril, along with traditional defense companies, is developing autonomous AI weapons and tools for use in conflicts around the world, worrying some who say the technology is not ready for such high-stakes environments.
"When it comes to life and death decision-making, I think that it is too morally fraught an area, it is too critical of an area, to not apply the best technology available to you, regardless of what it is," Luckey told journalist Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday."
"Whether it's AI or quantum, or anything else. If you're talking about killing people, you need to be minimizing the amount of collateral damage. You need to be as certain as you can in anything that you do."Luckey added that it's important to be "as effective as possible."
"So, to me, there's no moral high ground in using inferior technology, even if it allows you to say things like, 'We never let a robot decide who lives and who dies,'" Luckey said.
Anduril Industries, founded in 2017, is a defense tech company focused on developing autonomous systems. The company's mission is to modernize the US military through various technologies, including surveillance devices, air vehicles, and autonomous weapons. Lattice, Anduril's AI software platform, powers its tech.
Mark Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey have ended their long time feud and are now working together in many projects.
