AI and the future of warfare
Future wars are increasingly leaning towards the reliance on robots and autonomous systems powered by artificial intelligence, amid growing concerns over the risks associated with their use, especially in the development of self-operating weapons and fully autonomous drones. Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov believes Ukraine needs to rapidly enhance its technological superiority to ensure its independence and defeat Russia. He warns that Russia and its allies may advance in the development of AI-based combat robots, particularly unmanned aircraft that are not directly controlled, which poses an existential threat to Ukraine. Fedorov proposes establishing a "robot army" and developing ground and offensive drone systems to support the troops. He emphasizes that the technological race is not just about acquiring these systems but also about outpacing others and setting the rules for their use, despite challenges such as the stability and cost of certain robots, as well as leveraging battlefield data to develop more advanced military AI systems.
