The line between science fantasy and the real world is becoming increasingly blurred. Artificial intelligence is one of the hottest words of 2023, and now artificial intelligence has penetrated into people's daily lives.
According to a news report on Wednesday, the U.S. Air Force is currently working on developing a new generation of cheaper fighters, thanks to the skyrocketing cost of existing military aircraft and advanced flight software, and the key factor in all this is artificial intelligence pilots.
This news comes after the US Department of Defense officially confirmed the new wave of Palestinian-Israeli war, and the US side has used artificial intelligence to determine the target of the attack and eliminate it. It is said to be the first officially confirmed application of AI technology to contemporary warfare.

According to CCTV military news, Skyler Moore, director of science and technology of the US ** Venezuela, confirmed on February 26 that an AI (AI) system was used in an air attack on several parts of the Middle East in February to help target the attack. On 3 February, a major counterattack was launched against anti-American forces in Iraq and Syria.
* Screenshots. Skylar Moore is a military member in the Middle East, and he revealed an artificial intelligence that can learn and identify targets autonomously, which plays a crucial role for the U.S. team in the Middle East.
On February 2 alone, the AI system has helped the U.S. side identify 85 air strikes in the Middle East. These operations included United States aircraft and aerial strikes at seven bases in Iraq and Syria. The US Department of Defense confirmed that the above-mentioned attack had completely damaged, or rather, completely damaged, local storage facilities for rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as military facilities.
"We've used computer vision to identify potentially hazardous areas," Moore said in an interview. In the last 60 to 90 days,,"We've got a lot more"Hit the target", especially those who are in the Middle East by a large number of missile launchers laid by the enemy.
According to her, the AI system helps to identify missile launchers for the Houthis in Yemen, as well as ships in the Red Sea region. The U.S. Central Command has confirmed air strikes on the Houthis in February, destroying a large number of missiles and several unmanned ships.
The report also mentions that although the U.S. team has previously publicly stated that it uses AI to gather information, Moore's statement confirms for the first time that the U.S. team is using AI to identify and attack the enemy.

It is reported that this artificial intelligence technology for the target of the attack was developed by "Project M**en" (Project M**en), and since 2017, it has been regarded as the core artificial intelligence technology of the US Department of Defense, which can be automatically identified by images captured by drones and complete motion videos.
It is reported that the focus of the M**en plan is that the US team uses Google's artificial intelligence to analyze the images taken by the drone for more human inspections. Still, the plan has upset Google's employees. In 2018, thousands of Google employees banded together to call on Google to stop working with the U.S. Department of Defense. A few months later, Google announced the termination of its contract with the Ministry of Defense, which was due to end in 2019.
project m**en".
However, Moore disclosed that after Google's withdrawal, the Department of Defense did not give up on experimenting with AI algorithms and satellite-shots. Last year, the US military conducted a series of electronic training to test the effectiveness of this method. In the wake of Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 next year, the U.S. team has stepped up the use of artificial intelligence to apply this positional algorithm to real combat.
She also said that after a year of digital training, the U.S. team has been able to "transition to the M**en system very smoothly." "On October 7, everything changed. Moore replied. "We're getting faster and faster. ”
Some studies believe that the function of the M**en system is not limited to the identification of specific targets, but through the comprehensive analysis of massive information, determine the location of combat objects and possible dangers, and then effectively understand the combat environment. What's more, Marvin can also provide support for logistics and planning by making precise data and optimizing the configuration of the army. This is the so-called "AI", which is also known as the "new "rules of the game".
* Screenshots. At the same time, the United States is not alone in making this "leap." The Israeli army has also said before that they will use AI to determine the location of the attack in Gaza. The Ukrainian side also said that they used artificial intelligence technology, with the assistance of the United States, to successfully beat the Russian forces back to their original form.
Since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States has pointed out the specific location of Russian equipment to the Ukrainian military through satellite information and m**en technology, and then the Ukrainian military will use the global positioning system to locate missiles to strike at it. Assistance to Kyiv also helps the Ministry of Defense to refine the means of artificial intelligence, said a *** familiar with the matter. According to an unnamed person familiar with the matter, M**en has experienced more than 50 improvements in the first ten months of its aid to Ukraine.

However, with the "increasingly integrated" AI and warfare, it has also raised many questions, and how to move AI from research to actual combat has become a difficult problem for military leaders in various countries.
Proponents of rapid adoption of AI point out that in today's wars, war will be "going at a pace that is difficult for the human brain to adapt." However, some scientists are worried that the currently available network and data cannot cope with the current situation, and front-line personnel are not willing to give their lives to computer software that they don't know if it will work. Ethicists fear that handing over potential death decisions to robots will result in catastrophic results.
Moore emphasized that Marvin's AI capabilities are primarily used to detect possible enemies, not to identify or deploy ** against a specific target. She said that the U.S. Central Command tested an AI recommendation engine in a test late last year and showed that these systems "often fail to meet" the user's needs, such as proposing attack sequences or optimal **.
Therefore, the military often checks and verifies the purpose of the AI system, and gives advice on how to launch an attack and what kind of attack to use. "No algorithm simply does the math and comes up with one result and then the next step," she says. "All AI-related steps are going to be reviewed by someone. ”
However, according to recent reports, the United States plans to expand its computing system into autonomous domains. The U.S. Department of Defense issued guidance last year requiring commanders and warfighters to have a "reasonable human judgment" when using violence, meaning that officials may feel that people are responsible for oversight rather than direct decision-making.
For some activists, allowing robots to kill is a "serious warning." A name called"Stop the killer robots"The organization, a human rights organization and scholarly organization, said the current U.S. assurances were "inadequate."
Guterres said in 2018: "A machine that can take the life of another person without human intervention is an ethical exclusion that is politically unacceptable and should be outlawed." Guterres has once again raised the alarm about AI over the past year, saying that it is "absolutely impossible to permissible" to develop AI (AI) that is not based on human judgment, and stressed that the most urgent task right now is regulation.
