When Human Beings Are No Longer Fully in Control Amid Escalating Military Conflict

Militaries around the world are incorporating artificial intelligence and autonomous systems into their organizational processes, command-and-control systems, logistics systems and weapons systems.

A new report from the RAND Corporation examines how militaries might deter hostile forces when decision-making processes are no longer fully under the control of human beings.

RAND researchers conducted a wargame involving the United States, China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea in a hypothetical future world with AI and autonomous forces. The wargame explored a scenario in which China sought to exert greater control in the region and the United States and Japan resisted this effort, resulting in intentional and inadvertent escalation.

Insights from the wargame included that manned systems may be better for deterrence than unmanned systems. Widespread AI and autonomous systems could inadvertently cause conflicts to escalate more quickly because machines make decisions at much faster speeds. Machines will likely be worse than humans at understanding human attempts to deescalate a confrontation.

Researchers recommend that the military evaluate new AI and autonomous systems and concepts for using these systems to evaluate their escalatory potential. Additional thought should be given to how these systems could change U.S. ability to deter adversaries and to manage how far conflicts escalate.

 
Artificial intelligence is one sector where there are endless opportunities in the future. However, when AI is paired with the Internet of Things (IoT), these become two key technologies that are bringing about enormous digital transformation in the Industry 4.0 platform. As a young individual, you can make a career with the rise of intelligent machines that can make decisions without human interference; Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) has the potential to change industries as we know them now, make the most of it, be a part of an organization such as Solvative to make a change in the industry and deliver out of the box solutions that touch lives.
