The military is adapting to new technology as we approach the future. These technologies include Drones (robots), and cloaking equipment. Global powers are readying their military for the use of advanced technology in war to transform warfare. Artificial intelligence is just one example of this new technology.
Artificial Intelligence
With the recent advancement of AI technologies, some have argued that these systems are as dangerous as nuclear weapons. It is important to regulate AI technology in the military with a proactive approach. Russian robotic systems are, for instance, developed in accordance with technical specifications established by the Russian government. This type of regulation, however, cannot replace legal regulation. Legal regulation is mandatory for all subject matter, and not technical regulation.
Legal regulations are essential for AI activity. They provide objective information to AI owners as well as regulatory authorities. For example, legal regulations should specify the circumstances under which a system is to be stopped. Legal regulations also need to define entities that are allowed to use AI of military-grade quality. These systems could be used to commit criminal acts.
Robots
Military robots are autonomous, remote-controlled vehicles that can carry out a variety of functions. They can perform transport, search and rescue, as well as attack missions. These robots are an asset for the military and other organisations. These robots are also a more effective way of protecting and monitoring troops.
WASP drone is one example of military robots. This is a lightweight remote-controlled drone capable of flying at low altitudes. It is currently used for surveillance and recon. A second application of robots is search and rescue. They can save lives. The majority of casualties in wartime occur because people delay responding to emergencies. Many countries have invested in this area to decrease response times.
