THE AI GENERAL: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MILITARY DECISIONS

Objectif

Many experts and policy makers are disturbed by the military application of Artificial Intelligence. They fear that AI will replace human commanders to make strategy independently. AI will take over military decision-making, deciding when, where, and how states will go to war - and whom they will kill. Ultimately, there is a fear that AI will automate war. It is a bleak vision. GENERAL AI explores the portentous issue of AI and military decision-making. It aims to dispel the misunderstandings, hyperbole, and myth which surround the topic. In place of assertion, it investigates concretely and empirically, how AI has been applied to military operations, and military decision making in the last decade, and how AI might be applied in the near future. It will examine whether, and how AI has transformed military decision-making; and how it might in the near future. The research will explore three major technological, sociological, and ethical issues:
What can AI technology actually do? How have the armed forces applied AI to military operations - and how might they? How should AI be applied to military decision-making ethically? The research will answer these questions through systematic archival research, interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork in selected military headquarters. It will test the hypothesis that, in fact, while AI might influence military decision-making, it will not automate it. On the contrary, commanders will apply the results of AI, only in reference to their staff and technicians, who programme, operate and maintain the AI software. They will define how to use AI. In this way, GENERAL AI will contribute to debates about AI at the highest level. It will also simultaneously help EU political leaders, policy-makers and military forces to understand the application of AI to military affairs, so that they are in a better position to employ this radical technology in defence of Europe.
