The Impact of AI on Warfare.

The Impact of AI on Warfare.

It is well known that throughout history man's favourite past time has been to
make war. It has always been recognised that the opponent with the better
weapons usually came out victorious. Nowadays, there is an increasing dependency,
by the more developed nations, on what are called smart weapons and on the
development of these weapons. The social impact of AI on warfare is something
which needs to be considered very carefully for it raises many ethical and moral
issues and arguments. The use of smart weapons raises many questions on the
price paid to develop these weapons; money which could be used to solve most of
the world's social problems such as poverty, hunger, etc. Another issue is the
safety involved in the use of these weapons. Can we really make a weapon that
does everything on its own without human help and are these weapons a threat to
civilians? The main goal of this essay is to discuss whether it is justifiable
to use AI in warfare and to what extent.

The old time dream of making war bloodless by science is finally becoming a
reality. The strongest man will not win, but the one with the best machines will.
Modernising the weapons used in war has been an issue since the beginning.
Nowadays, the military has spent billions of dollars perfecting stealth
technology to allow planes to slip past enemy lines undetected. The technology
involved in a complicated system such as these fighter planes is immense. The
older planes are packed with high tech gear such as micro processors, laser
guiding devices, electromagnetic jammers and infrared sensors. With newer planes,
the airforce is experimenting with a virtual reality helmet that projects a
cartoon like image of the battlefield for the pilot, with flashing symbols for
enemy planes. What is more, if a pilot passes out for various reasons such as
the "G" force from a tight turn, then a computer system can automatically take
over while the pilot is disabled. A recent example of the use of Al in warfare
is the Gulf War. In operation Desert Storm, many weapons such as 'smart' Bombs
were used. These were highly complex systems which used superior guidance
capabilities but they did not ...
