The arms race continues in artificial intelligence.

The fact is this. Artificial intelligence is a computer program that automatizes certain actions in robots. And that makes it the next-generation tool for weapon systems. Artificial intelligence is computer code that can download to any system that can run those programs. The needed thing is the computer that can run the program code. 

The new pinpoint accurate missiles like "Switchblade" are bringing new and frightening tools into the field of the military. Those miniature cruise missiles are developed for the special forces. 

But when they turn more common. They will also deliver to the regular troops and non-military actors. The anti-personnel cruise missiles have been in use since 2011, and they can be used by the military but also by people like presidential security teams. The advancement of microchip technologies makes it possible that those small-size missiles or "Kamikaze-drones" can drive more complicated computer code than original systems. 

That means those new systems can have the next-generation IIR (Imaging Infrared) system that recognizes the faces of the target. The remote operators can operate "Kamikaze-drones". But those systems can search and attack enemies independently. They can also drop from aircraft or even from satellites. 

And the thing is that they are giving the fast-flying tactical aircraft the ability to kill individual people from the streets. Those small-size drones can also drop from other drones. So the Bayraktar or Predator drones can also drop those sub-drones to operational areas. 

The small-size drones can also destroy things like aircraft. If the drone detonates the cone of the aircraft it turns unable to operate. Artificial intelligence can also collect the data from the different types of systems into one entirety. The biggest threat in those artificial intelligence-operated drones is that they are in the wrong hands. They are devastating systems. 

If aircraft is equipped with AI. It can correct errors that the pilots are making. 

But it can also make many other things. It can adjust the ECM and another jammer system. Artificial intelligence can also make it possible that radars and radio communication tools can change their frequencies when they are under jamming. 

That system allows the connection of multiple weapon systems to one entirety. And it makes those systems frightening and deadly. 

The problem with weapon systems is that their purpose is to be frightening and deadly. And artificial intelligence is the next step in complicated battle-field control systems. Any military force cannot stay outside that kind of development. 

People are criticizing things like killer drones. But the thing is that those systems are effective. 

The only needed thing is the effectiveness in the world of the military. The success of the drones in the Ukrainian and other wars is making them popular systems. Those unmanned systems might not be very sportsmanlike. But their purpose is to make enemies stay away from borders.

What can cause the machine rebellion?

Pinterest

The question is always why the machines are rebelling? Why they would attack their creators? Of course, artificial intelligence can be the thing that controls robots. But the reason why working and combat robots are created is that their operations are limited. Robots and artificial intelligence have no imagination. They would not predict the future. And they should not have ambition. 

So there is no way that those things can rebel. But then we might think about the situation when the robot has an extremely high position. That robot can pull all machines to rebel. And in this case, the rebel is the situation where the machine cannot stop. 

The case is like the data version of the fall of the Higgs boson. The fall of the Higgs boson can destroy the entire universe. But this thing can transfer to the data world. There is the possibility that some robot has so high priority that it can take all other robots with it. So if there is only a couple of actors who can stop that machine. That can cause a dangerous situation.  There is the possibility that those actors are somehow injured or they do not remember the stopping code. And that can cause that the combat robots are not taking orders. 

The stopping code should shut down the robots. Or denying it to call the assistance there is the possibility that those actors would be unable to operate. Those systems can continue their actions. The idea in this horrifying scenario is that the master robot of the combat robot network is going out of control. And if there is nobody who can stop that system that causes the rebellion of robots. 

That is the robot that is protecting some heads of the state. Or make some this kind of duty. Would face the situation translated as the attack. There is a possibility that a thing like a natural heart attack is translated as an attack. Because of that kind of thing is not predicted in the programming code. Maybe the robot or the AI translates that the attack comes from military or unexpected rebellious units. In this case, the system would determine the people around the machine as the enemies.

The idea is that the highest-ranking officer or the head of the state can stop the machines. But if both of them are dead or unable to operate that thing can cause. The situations that the robots will not take commands. And entire systems are released from human control. 

And because the duty work of that kind of robot is high. That means that the robot will start to call assistants if the human operators are shooting it. The AI will determine that kind of thing as the attack and then it sends all robot soldiers to protect the head of state and the strategic targets. And maybe that kind of thing would cause the rebel of the machines.
