Even though China has prohibited the utilization of AI in leading armed forces, this hasn’t hindered Chinese researchers from developing an AI military commander to engage in simulated war scenarios. The AI is fashioned after human military leaders, replicating not only their strengths and weaknesses but also their unique personality traits and thinking patterns.
Information suggests that the virtual commanders are confined solely within the laboratory situated at the Joint Operations College of the National Defence University in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Thus far, this artificial command appears to have been granted an unprecedented level of authority to oversee its forces as it partakes in progressively complex virtual combat scenarios.
Further exploration into the endeavor reveals that the AI military commander has been rapidly expanding its knowledge and capabilities. Unfortunately, the research publication is currently only accessible in a Chinese language journal named Common Control & Simulation. However, if the reports are accurate, they indicate that employing AI within military settings is indeed a workable solution.
This is probably unsettling news to those wary of AI domination. With ongoing discussions about potential threat of AI overshadowing humanity due to the sophistication of systems like ChatGPT, integrating AI into military operations is likely to heighten these concerns. This concern will be particularly significant as AI continues to evolve its decision-making capacities.
It’s not the initial instance China has explored AI integration within the military. Past instances include the Chinese military experimenting with robotic dogs armed with rifles, as well as assault rifle-equipped attack drones. Additionally, companies are also developing AI-driven assistants and exploring other avenues for integrating AI into our daily lives.
