The US military already uses a number of robotic systems, however, these all need to be remotely-piloted by a human at all times. In a report, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has stated the advantages of integrating humans with self-driven machines using artificial intelligence (AI).The report suggests that AI warfare is inevitable. “Autonomous systems will play an increasingly important role in future warfare, and they are likely to have significant impact on how we conduct operations as well as our ability to defend against adversaries,” said the The US military hopes that an AI software could detect and react to threats before humans.

In a report, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has stated the advantages of integrating humans with self-driven machines using artificial intelligence (AI).The report suggests that AI warfare is inevitable. In one scenario given by the DoD, autonomous drones could provide real-time surveillance, as well as jamming enemy communications and autonomously initiating attacks against the enemy.
