The issue with these statements though is that they always presume that the unsubstantiated claims by tech companies about AI capabitilies are true, lending them further legitimacy. No it is not the case that AI enhances the defense and protection of civilians, quite the opposite.
This was pretty evident given that Anthropic explicitly trained a model with exploitation capabilities, rather than defensive capabilities. Evaluations of it confirmed it wasn't much better than SOTA at vuln discovery, but better in generating exploits. Motives are clear.
Chris Olah (a founder of Anthropic) presenting the Encyclical should raise some serious red flags for everyone.
