US Army to use gamers' brainwaves to build an AI that trains military robots

[DiipuSurotu]

The University at Buffalo, New York, Artificial Intelligence Institute, plans on creating an AI by studying brain waves of gamers. This AI is to be used DARPA, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, to train military robots.

For the research, engineers of the University at Buffalo received a funding of $316,000 from DARPA.

Reportedly, the researchers at university are studying the brain waves and eye movements of 25 gamers with "strong gaming experience."

"We're trying to recruit participants who have strong gaming experience," said Souma Chowdhury, one of the lead researchers in the project to Digital Trends.

"Humans can come up with very unique strategies that an AI might not ever learn. A lot of the hype we see in AI are in applications that are relatively deterministic environments. But in terms of contextual reasoning in a real environment to get stuff done? That's still at a nascent stage." said Souma Chowdhury to Digital Trends.

This will certainly end well.

Terminators are gonna be charging the field Leroy Jenkins-style while screaming a bunch of racist slurs.

 

[Joe2187]

An entire army of racist sexist robots

Every time this robot gets shot, he says the n-word. Scientists are puzzled.

Oh no ace combat 7 was right

They'll start killing women while screeching "You aren't real gamers!!"

Bots briefly went AWOL in order to sleep with your mom.

 

[MillionIII]

The numbers mason!

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

So the military will actively train its killer robots to rise up? Idiotic smh

 

[Klyka]

"Does War have skill based matchmaking?"

 

[Max|Payne]

The robots start shooting at each other when the PC gamers find out the console gamers.

 

[Video Games Are Dumb]

When the games rise

 

[Greigor the FellHand]

what could go wrong.

a bunch of angsty racist players will probably end up being used. making a a angsty edgelord racist ai

Engage teabag humiliation protocol

Robot army is gonna be nothing but snipers with no medics.

 

[Doggg]

And don't wash their hands after they piss

I graduated from UB's computer science department, and I can say you probably don't have to worry too much about this going anywhere.

 

[Clefargle]

RIP guys

it was good while it lasted

 

[Stinkles]

This is me if we get attacked during our Moon Patrols, or if the bad guys are fruit.

 

[DanceToTheRadio]

Gamers truly are the most powerful race

 

[PopsMaellard]

Man those robots are going to smell like shit.

 

[Lost Lemurian]

Man, I didnt think living in a cyberpunk dystopia would be so lame.

 

[Htown]

this is distressingly close to the premise to Sword Art Online Alicization

which just confirms we're in the worst possible timeline

KOJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Chopchop]

This sounds like one of those things that people attach AI to because it sounds sexy, but will realistically go nowhere at that level of abstraction. AI learning from brainwaves? I don't see how that would even lead to anything usable.

So basically they're gonna train the military robots to be super toxic, racist and homophobic

I think we all knew humanity was doomed, but couldn't we have punched the ticket in a less embarassing way?

Looking forward to the AI apocalypse of 2042 where I get shot to death in the street by a robot that does the default dance over my corpse.
