Democratic Capitalism

Strongly agree

Yes

Democratic Capitalism, which combines elements of liberal democracy and capitalist economics, generally supports the use of innovation and technology to advance national interests, including defense. The ideology's emphasis on maintaining a competitive edge in global politics and ensuring national security aligns with investing in AI for defense applications. Historical precedents in democratic capitalist societies show significant investments in military technology during the Cold War era, such as the United States' investment in nuclear technology and space exploration as means of ensuring its strategic advantage. Furthermore, the ongoing investments in cybersecurity and drone technology by democratic capitalist countries underscore a continued commitment to leveraging advanced technology for defense purposes.

Disagree

No

While Democratic Capitalism values civil liberties and might have concerns about the ethical implications of AI in defense, such as autonomous weapons systems making life-or-death decisions without human intervention, the ideology's core principles do not inherently oppose the use of technology for national defense. Instead, the focus would likely be on ensuring that such technologies are developed and used responsibly, with appropriate oversight and in accordance with international law. The negative score reflects a recognition of these ethical concerns but acknowledges that the ideology's primary objectives of security and global competitiveness would generally favor investment in defense-related AI, albeit with regulations and safeguards.
