Despite ethical challenges, AI remains a key battleground technology in the defense sector
AI is the latest battleground technology for major military superpowers like the US, China, and Russia. It promises to automate and enhance all aspects of modern warfare, including training and simulation, command, control, communications, computers intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (C4ISR), electronic warfare, and frontline service. AI integration presents many ethical challenges, though the prospect of falling behind may put those who do not recognize AI's potential at a clear disadvantage.
