India gears up for AI-driven wars

Artificial intelligence; defence projects

News:

1. The government has initiated to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the operational preparedness of the armed forces.

Note: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term for simulated intelligence in machines. These machines are programmed to “think” like a human and mimic the way a person acts. The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific goal.

Important facts:

2. India had  started the work on the application of AI to boost the capabilities of its armed forces as many developed national is already following AI.
3. A high-powered task force headed by Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran is finalizing the specifics and framework of the project, which would be implemented in a “partnership model” between the armed forces and the private sector.

5.The induction of Artificial intelligence will provide Indian Armed force a level playing field and to overcome the Chinese and other world power in field of Artificial intelligence.

6. Artificial intelligence will help in border surveillance and could ease the pressure on armed forces personnel guarding the sensitive frontiers with China and Pakistan.
7. Artificial intelligence around the world.

• China is putting its hard efforts in Artificial intelligence research and machine learning.
• The U.S., Britain, France and the European Union are also investing significantly in Artificial intelligence.
• The U.S. has carried out successful with the help of artificial intelligence to target terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan and Northwest Pakistan using drones.
