Neil deGrasse Tyson On The Terrifying Problem With AI-Controlled Weapons

Neil deGrasse Tyson joins Mike Baker on The PDB Situation Report to discuss the rapidly expanding role of artificial intelligence—and what happens when AI enters the battlefield.

Tyson explains why the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board pushed to keep humans involved in AI kill decisions, then warns that nations could face pressure to remove humans from the loop if adversaries do the same. He argues that without international guardrails, autonomous warfare could become an AI “free-for-all.”
