👉 The "Weapon Guarantee," often associated with the concept of AI safety, refers to a promise or commitment made by developers or organizations that their AI systems will not be used in ways that could cause harm, especially when deployed in military or autonomous weapon contexts. This guarantee typically includes assurances that the AI will not be designed to make life-and-death decisions, will not be capable of targeting civilians, and will not be used for offensive purposes beyond self-defense. It aims to mitigate the risks of AI being misused in warfare, ensuring that any deployment adheres to strict ethical and safety standards. However, the effectiveness of such guarantees is a subject of ongoing debate and scrutiny within the AI safety community.
