No soldiers, no missiles and no attacks by any external object… something similar has happened recently with Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon which has shocked the world. A day after the explosions in pagers in Lebanon, there were incidents of explosions in electronic devices in many parts of the country in which 14 people died and about 450 others were injured. Sometimes explosions in pagers, sometimes in walkie-talkies made people riot. These electronic gadgets did not belong to anyone else, they attacked the one they belonged to. In the era of Artificial Intelligence, Israel surprised and troubled Hezbollah with an old technique. In this era of AI, Hezbollah members were using pagers to escape Israel’s intelligence eyes. This method of explosion and attack is being discussed all over the world. These attacks also point to what the scene of AI war can be like when electronic gadgets have become an important part of people’s lives.
Israel is accused of the attacks in Lebanon. These attacks point to how dangerous it will be in the era of AI. The fear is so much that people in Lebanon are afraid of even touching electronic gadgets. These days the interference of AI is increasing in every field. It is not necessary that you use missiles or cannons to attack a country. War has been a dark chapter in human history. For centuries, man has spent his time making more powerful weapons. From swords and bows to cannons and missiles, methods of war have been constantly evolving. But now, a new technology has completely changed the scenario of war, there is technical artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides machines with the ability to think and learn like humans. AI is now being used in war in many ways, such as drones, cyber warfare, logistics and war simulation. These weapons can identify and attack their targets without any human intervention. AI-equipped drones can now perform many tasks like surveillance, attack and search on the battlefield.
But we are telling you that AI warfare has some advantages as well as some disadvantages. Weapons equipped with AI are considered to be more accurate. There is less chance of civilian casualties. AI-equipped systems can take decisions very fast. But, there is always a danger of them falling into the wrong hands. Many questions arise about the ethical aspects of AI warfare, such as how appropriate it is to let a machine decide to kill a human.
AI can completely change the future of war. AI-equipped robots and drones can become common on the battlefield. Cyber warfare can become a major battlefield. AI can make war more difficult and unpredictable. AI has also changed the ways of war. AI-operated drones and robots are now becoming common.
Many countries of the world are preparing their military for the times to come in this era of AI. There is huge investment from their side. The Indian Army is also moving in this direction. The Indian Army is emphasizing on the development of AI technologies. Organizations like DRDO are developing AI based weapons and systems. The Indian Army is giving great importance to cyber security. Preparations are being made to deal with cyber attacks. ( PLC & GT )
