Hello everyone your welcome to my blog today.
The invention of Ai and robots for fighting wars sounds like a good idea ,and it comes as a break through for humans who are the ones who face the heat of war itself when it comes , having this kind of innovation would save the life's of countless soldiers who are lost battle on several occasions and it helps to reduce the pain and emotional damage that families have to go through because of their loved ones that they lose, I have lost family members so close to me but I have never had anyone who is a solider and I watch some documentaries to know how it feels.
This is my entry for hive learners weekly contest edition 2 there are many advantages connected to this and one of them which is the most important is the part where there is reduction of human casualties due to the unavoidable consequences of war which is death and the families and government would not have to deal with unexpected loss. Robots can be build to adapt to very toxic and hazardous environment that are harmful to human life and the society at large.
What if we had Ai systems that could read the human data and know the next action they want to want to take and counter them before they do , this is something humans can not do we only fight blindly and leave our life's to faith on the battle field. This helps to make military operations more accurate and it also helps to regulate civilian mortality rate. The truth remains that it would increase awareness on the short term and long term security issues and there is every probability that if war should come up in the future it would be more dangerous.
As we all know everything that has an advantage also has disadvantages. When ever something is made easy it is often taken advantage of and abused at the end of the day. So look at it this way if the spillage of blood caused by war is reduced drastically , war would be abused countries would literally compete over who would develop the highest robot and who would use Ai more than the other. There would be more outbreak of war because of this and at the end of the day the human environment would be disrupted.
What happens if the artificial intelligence weapons and malfunction and hurt humans who are the civilians what would be the out come , who would be responsible for it. Is it the programmer or the military that would be held accountable. This machines are not humans and cannot be held accountable for misconduct. This increases the risk of unchecked violence by machine that lack human compassion and emotions.
In as much as robots and Ai may reduce the level of loss of soldiers, they expose us to more danger if our Ai and robots turn back at us one day. The harmful part of it is not just in the machine but also in the lack of accountability that comes with it.
