A major AI company has changed its policy regarding military use of AI.

The only way that isn’t newsworthy is if you think none of that is important: AI, the military, Facebook’s AI efforts, or its policies regarding all three.

That is what is newsworthy. Why do you think none of that matters?

Isn’t it obvious that militaries, all over the world, will be using AI, now or later.

So, this is US military using AI from a US headquartered company.

Just because something is obvious or inevitable doesn't preclude it from being newsworthy.

It almost makes it more newsworthy: "look, it finally happened!"
