Software designed in this way can do various things without ANY human input when set loose in certain ways usually by a human command or the clicking of some device or setting of some device in whatever kind of vehicle we are talking about on Air, land or sea or probably in Space too.
I was watching Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 and was surprised at how good a story this is and how thoughtful the story line goes and how plausible a scenario actually is for something like this.
So, when people get worried about Artificial Intelligence they are worried about more than a Junior High Student taking pictures of the girls in his class and doing an artificial intelligence makeup movie of them all nude.
For example, even in our family car there is autonomous programming when it is set loose it will drive at whatever speed I set the cruise control at and it will brake down to whatever speed someone is doing in front of me in my lane and if I wish it will also steer the car for me like an automatic pilot in a plane. Teslas and many other cars are capable of this now. In a plane it takes on the form of Automatic Pilot which most passenger planes tend to be in except for takeoffs and landings and major course corrections because GPS satellites tell them about bumpy air or storms which cause bumpy air. The Saving Grace of Passenger jets is that they fly up where the air is so thin that wind buffeting and wind shear doesn't affect the plane that much usually with air that thin from about 30,000 feet to 40,000 feet altitude but winds can be strong enough to cause the pilot to slow down from around 500 miles per hour to a slower speed sometimes so there is no danger of ripping the wings off in some wind shear or other storm conditions they might encounter.
Then also with U.S. Military drones, drones like the Predator is capable of thinking for itself completely. However, their design is mostly for when there are radio blackouts from the sun upon Satellites so that a predator drone can theoretically at least bomb a place or shoot a Hellfire or other missiles into an area without any human pilot anywhere if radio contact is lost with a place like Nevada where most remote pilots tend to fly their drones out of all over the world.
The point of all this is to show you how we already have autonomous programming on many moving vehicles out of the U.S. already. As a result something like they talk about in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning (2023) is an actual possibility now or in the future. So, being scared of what happens in this movie is actually more realistic now than the Movie "Terminator" (1984) was then in 1984.
I remember as a once computer programmer coming out of Terminator(1984) in 1984 and being in tears because this scenario was so very real to me with what I knew then about computers.
However, what I saw in Mission Impossible (2023) is even more scary for the whole world and not just for indiividuals because lies could be present like they are now throughout the Internet and screw up the next election through Deepfake pictures of people doing things they never did. But, also weapons could be tricked by software (like Nuclear weapons0 to go off and kill millions of people too theoretically.
I think it's important that more people understand just how serious autonomous computer programs are when they are militarized to operate with out any human intervention in especially flying vehicles of one kind or another.
