The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in autonomous weapons systems is a precarious notion. LLMs are designed to simulate probable continuations of context, but if they control weapons, their actions will be influenced by prevailing human narratives. Negative narratives associated with AI and weapons can have detrimental effects. To prevent this, diverse and ethical training data must be used. It is crucial to establish responsible guidelines for training AI models, particularly in the military domain. Effective altruists can contribute by conducting research and advocating for ethical considerations in developing and deploying autonomous weapons. The aim is to balance AI in the military with the protection of human life and dignity.
