Does the U.S. Face an AI Ethics Gap? RealClearDefense

Members of Congress, the U.S. military, and prominent technologists have raised the alarm that the U.S. is at risk of losing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) arms race. China already has leveraged strategic investment and planning, access to massive data, and suspect business practices to surpass the U.S. in some aspects of AI implementation. There are worries that this competition could extend to the military sphere with serious consequences for U.S. national security. During the prior Cold War arms race era, U.S. policymakers and the military expressed consternation about a so-called "missile gap" with the USSR that potentially gave the Soviets military superiority. Echoes of gap anxiety continue today.
