Not yet an arms race, today\u2019s competition is more in terms of an experimentation race with many AI systems being tested and new research centers established. There may be a considerable first-mover advantage to the country that first understands AI adequately enough to change its existing human-centered force structures and embrace AI warfighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defence.gov.au\/ADC\/Publications\/documents\/joint_studies\/JSPS_4.pdf\">a new Joint Studies Paper<\/a>, I explore sea, land and air operational concepts appropriate to fighting near-to-medium term future AI-enabled wars. With much of the underlying narrow AI technology already developed in the commercial sector, this is less of a speculative exercise than might be assumed. Moreover, the contemporary AI\u2019s general-purpose nature means its initial employment will be within existing operational level constructs, not wholly new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the focus is the sea domain. The operational concepts mooted are simply meant to stimulate thought about the future and how to prepare for it. In being so aimed, the concepts are deliberately constrained; crucially they are not joint or combined. In all this, it is important to remember that AI enlivens other technologies. AI is not a stand-alone actor, rather it works in the combination with numerous other digital technologies. It provides a form of cognition to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please click here to read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/cimsec.org\/tag\/naval-tactics\/\">&#8220;Winning the AI-enabled war-at-sea&#8221;<\/a> article published at the Center for International Maritime Security, written by Griffith Asia Institute Visiting Fellow, Dr Peter Layton.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PETER LAYTON\u00a0| Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is suddenly important to military forces.
