The advantage of artificial intelligence in military decision making lies in its potential to rapidly process vast amounts of data, enhancing situational awareness and response times. However, the disadvantage rests in the risks associated with relying on autonomous systems for critical decisions, including the potential for errors, ethical concerns, and the loss of human oversight. Let us have a look at the Legal and Humanitarian Implictions

Expert Consultation report – Artificial intelligence and Related Technologies in Military Decision-Making on the Use of Force in Armed conflicts: Current Developments and Potential Implications https://lnkd.in/eCe6c4pd

It is official: dr. Jessica Dorsey, co-founder and co-project leader of our Realities of Algorithmic Warfare project (RAW) at Utrecht University, is one of the key expert advisors for the RE-AIM Global Commission on Responsible Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain. This is exactly the kind of impact we aim for at RAW! At a time where we are witnessing the realities of how AI-enabled military systems increase the speed of decision making and the scale of destruction in Gaza, we need now more than ever that scholars reflect on the lived experiences of these systems in the context of war and to trace the lines of responsibility and accountability back to the military-industrial-commercial complex that are innovating and deploying them. Read about how we conduct research on this at RAW here: https://lnkd.in/e8nVYiXX And a list of our research and impact output here: https://lnkd.in/eaGC7Mnv It is really important that Jessica will be able to bring our academic insights into public and political debates at RE-AIM.

There’s a global arms race under way to work out how best to use artificial intelligence for military purposes. The Gaza and Ukraine wars are now accelerating this. These conflicts might inform Australia and others in the region as they prepare for a possible AI-fuelled ‘hyperwar’ closer to home, given that China envisages fighting wars using automated decision-making under the rubric of what it calls ‘intelligentization’. https://lnkd.in/eRcwdEqM

Great article and timely as we move forward on CJADC2. The combatant commands are clearly in the best position to move through the development of this key enabler for driving data driven decision making. Being able to move vertically through echelon sharing data and orders at the speed of war. Building the networks, resiliency and mainstreaming AI.... https://lnkd.in/eh7aA_kk

🔎 How could States govern the use of AI in the military domain?   Our latest Occasional Paper, “Governance of AI in the Military Domain,” outlines three governance options:   1️⃣ United Nations disarmament forums. Various options are available to States depending on the content, scope, mandate and structure of discussions: UN General Assembly, Conference on Disarmament, UN Disarmament Commission, and existing treaties and conventions.   2️⃣ A New UN Body, in the form of an Agency or an intergovernmental scientific body.   3️⃣ Governance outside of the UN, including ongoing bilateral & multilateral arrangements, regional regulation measures, and national/sector-specific governance.   📄 Read the report to here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dpdPtSn2

"Moreover, the Israeli army systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity. According to the sources, this was because, from what they regarded as an intelligence standpoint, it was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses. Additional automated systems, including one called “Where’s Daddy?” also revealed here for the first time, were used specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences. The result, as the sources testified, is that thousands of Palestinians — most of them women and children or people who were not involved in the fighting — were wiped out by Israeli airstrikes, especially during the first weeks of the war, because of the AI program’s decisions." A genocide being enacted through the use of AI with little to no human oversight to maximize the death toll and maximize damage to civilian infrastructure. As data centre designers you have to ask yourself... where are systems like Lavender and Where's Daddy hosted? Is the work we are doing contributing in some way to this genocide?

While there has been lot of discussion about AI doomsday prediction, the following is also a fallout of AI development and dependencies , in military warfare.

„For the United States, growth by defense technology firms, the launch of a new Pentagon office focused on scaling artificial intelligence adoption, and Congressional support for innovation means there is an opportunity now to build effectively for the future. The incoming Trump administration, given its interest in new and innovative approaches to defense technology, has an opportunity to build on initiatives like Replicator and make this a reality“ #ai #trump #defense #innovation #technology #defensetechnology #artificialintelligence

Stealth and Scale: Quality, Quantity, and Modern Military Power - War on the Rocks "For more than a generation, the United States maintained a healthy lead in the most sophisticated military technologies, especially those that enabled precision strike, and its large advantage arguably deterred many potential rivals from symmetric competition. With the focus on precision, given the accuracy benefits and larger costs of systems, came a decision to prioritize quality over quantity in military capabilities. However, technological change over the last decade has eroded the binary between scale and sophistication." The future is uncertain, and militaries are constantly evaluating global trends to understand how they will shape the future operating environment and the nature of the challenge. The nature of the challenge will influence doctrine, operating concepts, plans and readiness. The development and execution of artificial intelligence (AI) modalities in a military context require an understanding of how best to deploy this groundbreaking technology to support operational requirements. Calian Group is working with AI and large language models (LLM) to automate the development of military training exercise injects and events, with humans in the loop to validate content. This technology reduces the time and effort necessary to develop scenarios and exercise content, accelerating exercise development and making training development more agile. See our White Paper about how AI and LLM accelerates exercise development: @https://lnkd.in/egXriBbt #defence #defense #wargaming #militarytraining #militarysimulation #scenariodevelopment #AI #LLM #ArtificialIntelligence Note: Articles posted or shared on this Calian Defence Solutions site are for informational purposes only.
