As capabilities in multiple forms of AI are rapidly accelerating primarily because of the focus of significant venture capital funding in the field, the speed and accuracy of decisions are improving. The medical community has already shown the accuracy of detecting cancer has improved just through simple machine learning techniques. Warfighting is much more complex. The sensor input and information overload that occurs in many scenarios demands looking at the capabilities of Artificial or Augmented Super Intelligence. Can the human be taken out of the real time loop and replaced by the algorithmic code and decisions predetermined based on certain stimulus? What are the ethical implications?
The Air Force is already looking at using AI to optimize policy making. Can it also be applied to warfighting decisions?
ASI will have a major impact on OODA loops. Bayesian Belief Networks and probabilities will be employed Even Issac Azimov's Laws of Robotics will be called into question. How will we incorporate ethical decision making into the mix?
In my submarine command over 20 years ago there was an overload of information during an approach and attack. The key to success was delegating and prioritizing the information flow. Most of the decisions were made by instincts. Today we have the opportunity to optimize the decision making.
