Vol 2 Chapter 1845: Philosophical issues in war

The latest website: Of course, there is another factor that is also very important for the autonomous combat system to make such a response strategy, that is, such a decision will be made after fully grasping and weighing the performance of the UAV.
"You mean, the autonomous combat system has a very good understanding of the performance of the drone itself, thinking that they can adapt and fly in mountain canyons, and can safely traverse out." Lu Qingfeng interrupted him, and grabbed Wu Hao's words. The focus of the question asked.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "That's it. Whether it is an autonomous combat system or an airborne intelligent control system, the decisions they make autonomously need to be based on a full understanding of the performance of the Fuluo intelligent attack drone. basically.
Only in this way, the two systems will analyze and calculate on this basis, and select a suitable plan for execution.
Generally speaking, they will make decisions and perform various tasks on the premise of protecting their own safety to the greatest extent. Of course, if you encounter a particularly important task, when we issue the relevant instructions, they will make the decision with the task as the primary goal, and then its own safety will lag behind at this time.
If the task conflicts with their own security, they will choose to give up their own security to complete the task.
Of course, this depends on the actual situation and the rear command and control center makes the decision. The UAV itself does not have this ability to change.
The reason for this is to avoid errors in the UAV's intelligent control system and autonomous combat system, resulting in related security vulnerabilities, and to ensure the safety and reliability of this UAV intelligent attack UAV to the greatest extent. "
Hearing Wu Hao's introduction, everyone present nodded. In the process of performing tasks, it is unavoidable that there will be such a difficult choice. Whether the task is the priority or the personnel safety is the priority, this often requires a decision, and the answer is not absolute.
Although everyone knows that the best situation is to complete the task safely, but in many cases it is impossible, so you need to make a choice at this time.
This is true even for drones. How to choose in this situation depends on the nature of the mission.
After all, a Teal Smart Attack UAV is also very expensive, and it’s just worthless, but it’s not worth it, at least it’s worth it, and it’s a good deal. So at this time, the commander needs to make a decision.
Wu Hao was also observing the expressions of everyone, and seeing that everyone had digested it, he then continued: "In fact, there is another situation that needs to be considered in the execution of the task, and that is the consequences and impact of the execution of the task.
This is often difficult to calculate for smart weapons and equipment. They are generally limited by their tasks and do not consider the consequences and impacts. Therefore, this will cause great problems.
To give a chestnut, the drone found the target convoy to be attacked, but at this moment the target convoy is passing through the downtown area, surrounded by dense crowds. What should I do at this time?
If it is a pilot, in such a situation, the operation will usually be suspended until the target convoy passes through the downtown area and goes to a place with no or few people, so as to avoid or reduce innocent casualties as much as possible.
Smart weapons will not. When they encounter this situation, they will not consider the people around them, but will directly attack after confirming the target. This will cause a large number of innocent civilian casualties, which will cause serious impact.
Our autonomous combat system solves this problem. They will have the same way and ability to think about problems as pilots. In such a situation, he will conduct a calm analysis and make the right decision. "
So what is the right decision? Someone interrupted him and asked.
Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled slightly and said: "The biggest task of our drone's autonomous combat system is to complete any task assigned by the commander, but they will choose a reasonable method calculated by themselves to perform these tasks. Task.
As for what is a reasonable approach, it depends on the commander's own will and the importance of the task.
Still in the example just now, if the opponent is the main offender or important target we have been tracking for a long time, the tracking for so long before was unsuccessful, and now it is finally tracked, except that the opponent's team is in a busy city and there are many people around.
We know that once this opportunity is missed, then this important or important target will disappear again, so whether to seize such an important opportunity in the end. If you attack, it will cause many casualties. If you let the opponent go like this without attacking, it will probably be difficult to track down later.
Therefore, at this time, the commander needs to make a decision, and see which one to choose.
Of course, the drone's autonomous combat system can also make such a choice, but it depends on the authority set by the rear command and control center. If the crowd is more important than the target, then of course the safety of the crowd is the main priority. If the target is the first The element is the primary goal, then..."
Said this, Wu Hao stopped. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone knew what he meant. Indeed, this kind of thing is hard to explain, but it is often necessary to make such a choice, weighing the pros and cons. Individually speaking, this is artificial intelligence, even the wise men and great men among human beings can hardly handle it well.
In order to avoid loopholes in computing decision-making in the autonomous combat system of UAVs and possible security risks, it is still necessary for control personnel to set up security fences in this regard. The so-called security fence is not in reality, nor is it ~EbookFREE.me~ in the system, but a fence of thinking logic, in other words, a security firewall.
Whether it is the UAV's intelligent control system or the autonomous combat system, their computing logic and thinking and decision cannot break through this safety fence to ensure the absolute reliability and safety of this smart attack UAV.
Otherwise, it is very likely that it will really end up in the same situation as the smart drone in the movie "Top Secret Flight". An uncontrolled, autonomously acting equipment, no matter how good it is, cannot be reused.
And in reality, many things and even many tasks cannot be expressed by right or wrong, and many things have gone beyond the level of right and wrong, and have risen to a higher position.
Just like the famous movie saying, children only distinguish right from wrong, and adults only distinguish between pros and cons. Human beings are like this, so naturally so at higher levels. Take the previous example as an example. It is naturally wrong to injure innocent people by mistake, but it eliminates important targets, criminals, and the benefits it brings will definitely be more valuable than these innocent people.
So at this time, how to choose? This is no longer a simple question of right or wrong, the amount of interest, but has risen to a philosophical question.
