Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that he worries about how emerging artificial intelligence will be used in warfare, urging graduating Air Force cadets to not allow technology to supersede their judgment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs AI transforms the battlefield \u2014 in some ways positively, in some ways not \u2014 I ask that you be jealous and selfish about your role as the decision-maker in warfare,\u201d Vance said in a commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. \u201cUse technology to make you better, but never submit to it. You<\/em> are the masters of warfare. And both your minds, but also your hearts, are the opposite of artificial.<\/p>\n

Vance\u2019s admonition came the same week that Pope Leo XIV issued a theological document warning about unchecked advancements in AI. The vice president praised the pope\u2019s work on the document in an interview with NBC News and referenced it Thursday in his speech. Vance, one of the Trump administration\u2019s most enthusiastic champions of AI, also referenced the recent jeers that have rained down on commencement speakers who have focused on the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, you can\u2019t boo me, I\u2019m the vice president of the United States,\u201d Vance joked. \u201cBut your fellow Americans are, understandably, they\u2019re worried about AI, about how it will affect the labor market, how it will distribute resources, and how it has fundamentally changed how we interact with one another \u2014 our social lives. But the thing I worry about most with AI is how it will change warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance, who worked in venture capital before entering politics, has long argued against excessive regulation on AI and promoted what he sees as its benefits. But with polls finding voters concerned about AI\u2019s rise, Vance in recent months has approached the issue with more public skepticism. He has stressed a need, for example, to ensure that new AI models protect businesses and consumers from cybersecurity vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technology \u2026 just raises such profound questions for how we interact with one another, what kind of skills we need in the workforce, the kind of wars that we\u2019ll fight and how we\u2019ll fight our wars,\u201d Vance said Tuesday, responding to a question about the pope\u2019s encyclical on AI. \u201cI think we really need moral leadership to think through those questions, and that\u2019s exactly what the church is the best leader to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
