The Worlds Military's Race for More A.I.

Demand for artificial intelligence skyrocketing among worlds military powers

                            Video from Defense One reveals  A.I.'s role in worlds military 

 

           Top military's use of artificial intelligence

Russia: Lethal ground robots, unmanned tanks, swarm drones, and missile guidance systems.

 Great Britain: Live feedback for shipboard gunners.

Israel: Predictive analytics on likely missile launch strikes along the Gaza strip.

France: Survallience robot called Serano.  

Canada: Sensor system to monitor its northern coast with underwater applications called CAUSE.

China: Implements dual applications that serve civilian and military needs to fight terrorism, monitor the population, forecast labor strikes, run drone swarms, and pioneer quantum computing. 

US: AI on F35s to help process targeting data, help pilots take off and land on carriers and use of robots to move gear for ground troops and for use in US drone strikes. 

                   

                           China biggest military concern for US in AI 

• Of largest concern for the US military is China. US intelligence has shown on numerous occasions China implementing new weapons tech copied directly from US military innovations.
• Pentagon is nervous that its own AI technology is not keeping pace with that of Silicon Valley. Even more unsettling for them is that Silicon Valley may fall behind China's AI program in the near future. 
• That fear is not unsubstantiated. A.I. works more precisely, the more data it has. It gets that data mainly from consumer online interactions. China has surpassed the US in users of technology to the point of nearly doubling it.
• China is investing heavily in A.I. with less concern for social services for its people. 
• The US is also losing ground to China in the competition for tech experts, as Microsoft and Google lose out on tech talent to China's fast-rising commercial tech industry.
• The Trump administration has been focusing on calling China out on its unethical business practices to help alleviate pressure on US companies and the Pentagon. 
• Look for more pressure from the US on China in the future and also pay attention to the war between nations for tech talent.
