Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain – Airwars X AI Now Institute
Military AI is reducing human oversight, increasing risks. An abstract kill chain illustrates these concerns.
AI warfare is often discussed but not well understood. Today’s military AI consists of overlapping machine learning algorithms that automate tasks previously done by humans, leading to diminishing human oversight. This article outlines a fictional AI-enabled attack through an abstract kill chain, illustrating the tactical decisions involved in AI systems across six stages. The rapid adoption of these technologies raises concerns about the potential for deadly errors.
