Provided that it could be contained, would giving C2I to an AI algorithm confer a strategic advantage during a war?
bump
why would a high altitude stealth bomber ever need to be piloted by AI? Its never going to need to make a decision or perform an action that a human cant.

Wouldn't equipping anything deployed in the field with AI just make it a boon to whoever inevitably shoots it down and hauls away your very advanced, very expensive kebab remover?
Autonomous weapons in general make no sense to me.
If we assume that an almost arbitrarily powerful AI exists, then yes, the ability to process data from varying sources near instantaneously and objectively is a massive advantage in warfare. How realistic the creation of such an AI is is another question of course.

The more pressing question is, if they had it, would they plug it in?

We already have that, it's called a human brain
We can't even build AI's that can run a mcdonald's yet, there's no chance we'll build military-grade AI's that surpass people any time soon

usually the more advanced stuff isn't on the drone, but in some secure bunker away from battle

Not really AI
We can't even really define what a proper AI is yet, much less create one. When we figure those bits out, then we can start looking into how useful they'd be on drones.

It's called multiboxing. Control a swarm of units by having them mimick a "command unit" that a human directly controls. If the command unit is destroyed control can be seamlessly transfered to another drone.

It takes a human a quarter of a second to react reflexively and minutes to make a plan.
A flight combat AI like ALPHA adjusts its plans 250 times a second. AI aren't better because they have faster reflexes, they're better because they do more plans and adjust them on the fly.

But they can only make decisions they have programming to do, there's not critical thinking of abstract thought involved.

Don't see a human pilots on Tomahawk.
>>34784383
the more reason for it to be piloted by ai, doesn't need a complicated ai and saves weight and space for pilots and their cockpit, bathroom, bedroom etc what they need on a long range bomber, saves money needed to train pilots, to pay them salary, their insurance etc
>>34788411
yeah you are right, thats the same with Soldiers and Tank drivers, why use them when we could just use .... dunno Robot.
>>34788347
A tomahawk simply seeks out the target coordinates, it doesn't make any decisions.
