Darpa wants your gaming tactics for its drone army

This AI-as-a-competition is somewhat troubling to me (Kaggle, that hedge fund yesterday, now Darpa). You are building value for someone without knowing the true value for someone else. The free market aspect is great. Many competitors from poorer countries, thus really inclusive. Often the organizers get great value from competitions.

But heck, building the AI that will lay waste to your stockmarket or country at a algorithmical whim. Hmm, perhaps ethically better to let defense projects fail on their own via failed incentives than crowdsource them into something 'great'.
