Via: UC Berkeley:
The work is part of a new People and Robots Initiative at UC’s Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS).

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Office of Naval Research, U.S. Army Research Laboratory and National Science Foundation helped support this research.
But … but DARPA really IS promoting AI initiatives that are “aligned to human needs” — the human need to eviscerate one’s enemies, imaginary or otherwise!
