In the annals of technological progress, it’s often overlooked how many of our everyday conveniences have their origins in military innovations. Consider the microwave oven, now a ubiquitous presence in our kitchens, which owes its existence to World War II-era radar technology developed for detecting enemy aircraft. This pattern of military advancements spilling into civilian life is a historical constant. However, today we are witnessing a new and potentially unsettling chapter with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in military weapons systems.
“Success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation. But it could also be the last…” – Professor Stephen Hawking
So today, I aim to deep dive into this topic, considering the limited public and expert information available, largely due to the inherent secrecy of the matter. Nevertheless, some information does manage to seep through, especially in the last year. Using these bits and pieces, I have attempted to construct a comprehensive overview of AI's use in the military domain, supplemented by my analyses and insights. The exploration of this subject will be extensive, but I trust that You (my readers) will find it both enlightening and thought-provoking.
