Us military to deploy thousands of AI-enabled autonomous vehicles by 2026

28 de noviembre de 2023 Hi-network.com

The US military has ambitious plans to deploy thousands of AI-enabled autonomous vehicles by 2026 as part of an initiative called 'Replicator'. This initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of small, smart, and inexpensive military platforms to keep pace with China's military advancements.

While there is general agreement among scientists, industry experts, and Pentagon officials that fully autonomous lethal weapons will be developed in the next few years, the military insists that humans will always remain in control. However, advancements in data-processing speed and machine-to-machine communications may relegate humans to supervisory roles as AI technology becomes more sophisticated.

The Pentagon currently has over 800 AI-related unclassified projects focusing on augmenting human operators' capabilities. AI is used for various purposes: surveillance, fitness tracking, aircraft maintenance prediction, space monitoring, and logistical support for the moment, AI technology tracks soldiers' fitness and predicts maintenance needs for Air Force planes. However, adopting AI technology in the military poses significant challenges regarding technology and personnel. The Department of Defence needs help keeping pace with AI advancements and rapidly retooling to match China's progress. Recruiting and retaining talent for testing AI technology and establishing mature testing and evaluation standards is necessary.

There are also concerns surrounding the deployment of fully autonomous weapons and the avoidance of casualties among non-combatants. The Pentagon emphasises the importance of the accountability of human operators in making decisions. Although there are challenges in terms of funding, technology maturity, and ethical considerations, the military is committed to responsible AI implementation and rigorous testing to minimise risks and ensure effective military operations.
