China has created the first AI that can lead the military
China has developed artificial intelligence (AI) that can lead the military, writes the online publication Naked Science. This virtual commander has already been tested in major computer war games, where he has been given unprecedented powers as supreme commander. In general, the AI coped with the tasks, and where there are still flaws, the developers say that the system learns very quickly.
During the tests, it became clear that the artificial “commander” can make strategic decisions, build plans for attack and defense , makes optimal decisions if the battle reaches a dead end. Based on victories and defeats, the AI learns itself.
With the help of this artificial intelligence, the People's Liberation Army of China has developed several military strategies that could be useful in the event of a crisis in relations with Taiwan. So far, virtual strategies involve fighting in Taiwan and the South China Sea.
