Trae Stephens(@traestephens):The debate around the ethics of an AI arms race is an important one — too important to leave only for critics and abstract skepticism. And whether the United States and our allies choose to build autonomous weaponry or not, it’s a sure bet that our adversaries will. I’m in @PostOpinions today with my friend @KTmBoyle with the moral case for why the United States needs a superior arsenal first and fastest. (1/4)
