"The First (and Only) Law of Robotic Warfare" Topic

"Robotic weapons that can autonomously identify the enemy, place firepower in position, and assist in targeting are almost a reality.[1] War waged by intelligent machines conducted by humans ensconced in bunkers or roaming from stand-off command centers at sea or in air can alter the face of the battlefield. Such wars can change the very definition of conflict.

Change will start with the possibility that vulnerabilities in enemy configuration may be better and faster diagnosed with machine learning algorithms, which can also more accurately decide if the enemy is where we expect it to be and in what strength. Open flanks and weak points can be dynamically discovered using models that predict movement in time and space. Finally, optimal moments of attack or withdrawal can be determined using machine learning, a method that based on past experience can identify what to do next. This second revolution in military affairs will not stop here, though. There is the clear possibility that the collection of data analytic tools will make the next and necessary step: full autonomy…"

I predict that nothing good will come of this.

I thought the first rule of warfare was to win, because anything else is a poor second place. Not sure why that would change just because the combatants have changed.

+1 Stryderg … But it seems now the USA does not want to "win" anymore. Give $ to everybody and it's all rainbows 🌈and unicorns.🦄

However, that being said … war should be the very last resort. And thought out thoroughly … Today there is too much to lose for many countries. However, failed & failing states, terrorists/jihadis may have nothing to lose. But their lives, and that should be how those types are handled. With extreme prejudice …

"Peace Thru Strength" & Deterrence … maybe too old school now ?

All that being said … robots, AI, drones, etc., will more & more be seen on the battlefield. It is happening now and is inevitable.

"the first (and only)law of robotic warfare" is that you let your robot kill the enemy robot before it kills yours

Ha!….

Next thing we can't say negative things about robots ! You wait and see !!!! 🤖

Don't upset them !
