As we approach the future, the military is embracing 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. Artificial intelligence is just one example of this new technology.
Artificial Intelligence
Some have suggested that AI technology is as dangerous as nuclear weapons, due to its recent development. Proactive regulation is needed to stop the misuse and exploitation AI in the military. Russian robotic systems, like the one in this example, are built according to technical specifications that have been set by Russia's government. However, technical regulation is not sufficient to replace legal regulation. Unlike technical regulations, legal regulation is obligatory for all subjects.
Legal regulations are essential for AI activity. They provide objective information to AI owners as well as regulatory authorities. Legal regulations, for example, should define the conditions under which a system can be stopped, such as when an enemy raises a white flag or when a target has been classified as a noncombattant. Legal regulations should also define who is allowed to use military-grade AI. Otherwise, these systems could fall into criminal hands.
Robots
Military robots, which can be remotely controlled and autonomously operated by remote control, are capable of performing a range of functions. They are capable of carrying out search and rescue, transport, and attack missions. These robots are an asset for the military and other organisations. Additionally, they provide a powerful way to monitor and protect troops.
One example of military robotics is the WASP drone, which is a lightweight remote-controlled drone that can fly at low altitudes. It is currently used by the US military for surveillance and reconnaissance. The robots are also useful in search-and-rescue, which can save lives. Due to the delay in responding, most casualties in wartime can be attributed to a lack of urgency. Therefore, many countries are investing in this field to improve response times.
