AI and Weapons Targeting

Radio Stockdale

What is the role of AI in modern targeting processes. We explore the delicate balance between human and machine functions, unravel the essence of 'meaningful human control' in AI targeting, and dissect the crucial steps of target development. Delve into how target system analysis enhances our understanding of enemy vulnerabilities and interdependencies. Plus, we examine the ethical dimensions of maintaining human control in an air interdiction mission. This is an insightful discussion on the intersection of technology, strategy, and ethics in warfare.
