[BillK]

The US, Israel, Ukraine and Russia are already using AI for target
selection for drones and bombs.
Final decision is still with human operators.
The next step will be when the military decide that this reaction time

In a rare admission, Bloomberg reports that US military officials have
officially acknowledged using artificial intelligence (AI) on the
battlefield. According to Bloomberg’s report, the US has used AI to
identify and neutralize targets.

The existence of this capability is known, but this is the first time
that the US has publically admitted its use and in an exclusive
interview with Bloomberg, Schuyler Moore, the chief technology officer
for US Central Command in the Middle East, explained the extent to
which AI has been employed recently.

In the wake of technological advancements and geopolitical tensions,
the emergence of autonomous weapons has become an unsettling reality.
Spearheaded by developments in artificial intelligence, nations are
racing to harness the potential of machines to make autonomous
decisions in combat scenarios.

The deployment of drones like the Saker Scout in Ukraine underscores
the evolving landscape of warfare, where machines are entrusted with
the power to identify and engage targets without human intervention.
Despite concerns over the ethical implications and potential
humanitarian crises, the allure of autonomous weapons persists as
military strategists explore new avenues for dominance on the
battlefield.
