The Very Long Game

25 Case Studies on the Global State of Defense AI

Herausgegeben: Borchert, Heiko; Schütz, Torben; Verbovszky, Joseph

Beschreibung

This open access book is the outcome of a unique multinational effort organized by the Hamburg-based Defense AI Observatory (DAIO) to portray the current state of affairs regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by armed forces around the world. The contributions span a diverse range of geostrategic contexts by providing in-depth case studies on Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, the UK, and the United States. The book does not speculate about the future implications of AI on armed forces, but rather discusses how armed forces are currently exploring the potential of this emerging technology. By adopting a uniform analytical framework, each case study discusses how armed forces view defense AI; how they are developing AI-enhanced solutions, adapting existing structures and processes, and funding their defense AI endeavors; to what extent defense AI is already fielded and operated; and how soldiers and officers are being trained to work with AI.

Rezensionen

This is the most comprehensive analysis of its type to date, representing a valuable resource for defence policymakers, industry and innovation units seeking to make sense of and accelerate the adoption of evolving global military AI landscapes. The Very Long Game outlines the contemporary applications of AI in the military. The sociotechnical approaches that connect practitioners and AI models with established systems of control remain an open and evolving challenge for militaries globally.
