A race between China and the U.S. to develop artificial intelligence technology for use on the battlefield may determine the fate of the global power structure.
China and the U.S. are locked in a race to develop new weapons controlled by artificial intelligence, a battle that could determine the world's balance of power. 'The race with China to build autonomous weapons systems is the defining defense challenge of the next 100 years,' Christopher Alexander, chief analytics officer at Pioneer Development Group, told Fox News Digital. The comments come as a Reuters report last month detailed the ongoing struggle between the U.S.
One such system being developed by the Australian Navy in partnership with the U.S., called Ghost Sharks, is an unmanned AI-powered submarine the size of a school bus that can patrol oceans and survive maneuvers that would be impossible for conventional military vehicles. 'The United States is currently in yet another arms race, except this time it is against China, instead of the Soviet Union.' Ziven Havens, policy director at the Bull Moose Project, told Fox News Digital.
In one example cited in the Reuters report, lethal drones with AI systems capable of evaluating surveillance imagery could allow for something called 'micro-targeting,' looking to strike entire groups such as the entire military-aged male population of a certain town. The lethality of such technology makes it all the more important that the U.S. remain on the cutting edge, Alexander argued, noting that winning this arms race will give U.S. a 'dynamic new form of deterrence.
