What Socrates might have to say about artificial intelligence and the moral dilemmas behind its military use

In Plato's Republic, Socrates challenges the idea that justice should boil down to telling the truth and returning things that were taken. He raises an interesting dilemma: what if the goods in question would harm other individuals if returned? In other words, giving a weapon back to its owner constitutes a moral dilemma as it could lead to people being harmed by the weapon's use. For Socrates, there was no doubt that protecting people was what should always prevail. Centuries later, Socrates's view is still very relevant in light of recent developments regarding the use of artificial intelligence in warfare.
