In the current era of artificial intelligence (AI), the use of robots in the military is no longer an idea relegated to science fiction movies. Today, robots and intelligent machines are increasingly being used in military operations for a wide range of tasks ranging from surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance, bomb disposal, and search and rescue operations.
But that’s not all. Military professionals are starting to envision future battlefields consisting of intelligent robot teammates that can understand and follow orders without constant supervision thanks to the widespread adoption of IoT technologies.
In this article, we’ll look at the rush to weaponize AI and robotics, the international laws and norms that are to be established which could help to prevent accidents from occurring with potentially devastating consequences, the cybersecurity challenges that militaries are likely to experience.
The weaponization of AI and robotics in defence In a recent news conference, the head of the UK military hinted that autonomous robots could soon form a quarter of the British military by the year 2030. This move will not only help reduce the number of human soldiers on the ground but also help in combating enemy attacks effectively and efficiently.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is quickly becoming a critical part of modern warfare. As such, governments – including the US and the UK– are investing more funding to facilitate research and development of advanced and more intelligent military robots.
While it’s difficult to say exactly how AI will change militaries across the world, nearly 80% of data scientists have argued that artificial intelligence will be the most impactful innovation in tech for the upcoming decade. So, what should we expect?

What percentage will be Gay?
Some industrial robots can assemble buildings, even homes.
I can see that type of duty being given to more robots in the future, especially in very dangerous areas of the world where they openly hate our American guts, if not our money.
Can the robots make tea?
Earl Grey Tea, or Teeing up for Golf?
At 25%, that should be about 10 soldiers....
The real problem with artificially intelligent systems is the difficulty implementing political correctness and equal outcomes. Adding politics removes all semblance of intelligence.
A K9 would be nice though.
No, they won't need any soldiers... By that time islam will have them living in mud huts and eating rodents..
A cross between a fox terrier and R2-D2.
