Half a dozen people mill about onstage in front of a massive blue screen that shows an image of a soldier in profile wearing combat gear. One of the people onstage wears a formal military uniform and a general's uniform hat, who speaks to a man who has a hand raised to wave at the image onscreen.Participants chat in front of an electronic image of a soldier before the closing session of the Responsible AI in the Military Domain summit in Seoul on Sept. 10, 2024.
It’s 2029. From wildfires in California to catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, natural disasters are more common than ever—and hit harder. But amid fire and flood, advances in artificial intelligence enable the United States and other countries to deploy self-flying drones to find and rescue survivors, use machine-learning algorithms to streamline the delivery of lifesaving aid, and automate translation in real time to aid multinational coordination. This future vision of more efficient, collaborative, and effective military cooperation is attainable, but only if we act now.
The United States and its allies are increasingly incorporating rapidly advancing AI-enabled technology into their militaries to solve key operational problems, speed up responses, save lives, and even deter threats. But each nation is developing its own capabilities; incorporating these systems into military activities at different paces; and creating its own policies to dictate when, where, and how military AI can be employed.
