I was mostly skeptical that AI weapons would be some sort of novel threat. We've had weapons that choose to kill on their own since the landmine. There are also weapons that could fight/end an entire war with the push of one button. What AI weapon could be more destructive than the guidance system on an ICBM?

However there are some impressive names on that letter. I can't imagine knowing something about AI that they don't. I will have to re-evaluate.
