As we look to the future, the military embraces more advanced technology. These technologies include robots, Drones, and cloaking devices. Advanced technology is changing warfare. Global powers are now preparing their military for this revolution. One of these new technologies is artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence
Some argue that AI technology is now as dangerous than nuclear weapons because of its rapid development. To prevent misuse and exploitation of AI in military operations, proactive regulation is essential. Russian robotic systems, like the one in this example, are built according to technical specifications that have been set by Russia's government. However, this type of regulation cannot replace the importance of legal regulation. Unlike technical regulations, legal regulation is obligatory for all subjects.
To provide objective information to AI owners and regulators, it is important to have legal regulations for AI activities. For instance, legal regulations should clarify the circumstances in which a system must stop, such as when an enemy raises the white flag or when a target is classified as a non-combatant. Legal regulations must also identify the entities that are authorized to use AI-grade military. This could lead to criminalization of these systems.
Robots
Military robots are autonomous, remote-controlled vehicles that can carry out a variety of functions. They can perform transport, search and rescue, as well as attack missions. These robots make a valuable addition to the military and other agencies. In addition, they are an increasingly effective way to monitor and protect troops.
The WASP drone is an example of military robotics. It is a lightweight remote controlled drone that can fly at low elevations. The US military currently uses it for surveillance and reconnaissance. The robots are also useful in search-and-rescue, which can save lives. Many countries invest in this area in order to speed up response times and reduce casualties during wartime.
