"As the Trump administration pushes to " aggressively adopt AI " in the military, there's a recognition that some of the models may have protections or limitations that aren't applicable in a military context. To be sure, some of these will need modification to suit the military's mission. But there are many reasons that the military will want to have guardrails built in, for its own protection."
"This is why the Trump administration's decision to move responsibility for AI under the R&D umbrella makes sense. It will allow for "going fast" to work out the kinks, while not "breaking things" in ongoing military operations. Some of the protections that need developing could focus on preventing external malicious actors from misusing AI, while others should focus on preventing authorized users from creating harm from within."
The Trump administration is pushing to aggressively adopt AI in the military while recognizing that many model protections or limitations are inapplicable to military contexts. Some models will require modification to support mission lethality while preserving essential safeguards. Policymakers and AI labs should collaborate to adapt guardrails specifically for military use. Removing guardrails without contextually appropriate replacements could produce severe consequences. Moving AI responsibility under the R&D umbrella permits rapid development to work out issues while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. Protections must prevent external malicious actors from compromising systems and stop authorized users from causing harm from within.
