China can use more artificial intelligence to contain the United States against Taiwan.
The People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) is soon going to conduct teachings on the blockade around Taiwan. For this, it is planned to use artificial intelligence technologies. With its help, the situation of deterrent of US forces in Taiwan will be simulated.
Deputy Director of the Shanghai Institute of International Studies (Shanghai International Studies University (Sisu) suggested that China can become a world leader in the field of intellectual war. It is possible to achieve this, in his opinion, if you effectively use skills in the field of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, large data, cybersecurity, as well as unmanned equipment.
the PLA plans to use AI to simulate hostilities to invasion Taiwan. According to the last year’s report of the Center for Security and New Technologies of Georgetown University, by modeling military operations, II will learn how to monitor the US Navy and quickly deploy electronic counteraction funds.
The American analytical center believes that China is unlikely to be able to capture Taiwan as a result of a hypothetical invasion of the island in 2026. But if the invasion takes place, this will cause serious damage to China, Taiwan, the USA and Japan. Possible losses, according to the report of the aforementioned analytical center, are estimated at tens of thousands of people.
How did it all begin?
The idea of using AI in the development of a military strategy against the United States originated in August last year. Just after the visit to Taiwan Nancy Pelosi, a former speaker of the House of US representatives. China was outraged by the trip and believed that its sovereignty was broken.
After the US President Joe Biden signed the latest law on national defense, which provides for weapons financing for Taiwan, the PLA also strengthened the exercises throughout the island.
China does not exclude the use of force for the annexation of Taiwan, as it considers it part of its territory. The United States and most other countries do not recognize Taiwan as an independent state, but oppose any attempts to annexation of the island by force.
In the meantime, many scientists express their fears about the possible consequences of using AI in military conflicts.
