The development of AI in the military

Report on Digital Artifacts

The 21st century is an era of the internet, and the emergence of the internet has brought earth-shaking changes to our lives. The internet makes our work and study more convenient, and the internet has gradually become a part of our daily life. At the same time, digital artefacts have become a product of the internet’s connection to our lives.

As the product of modern network, artificial intelligence is another great creation in the history of human civilization (Russell et al., 2022). It has been completely integrated into our daily life. In the military, artificial intelligence has brought earth-shaking changes to modern national defense and communication technology. In the era of cold weapons in the past, the victory of a war often depends on whether the number of soldiers is far more than the enemy and whether the food reserves are sufficient. However, the success of modern warfare depends on whether you have better weapons and technology, and these weapons and technology are supported by artificial intelligence. Communications satellites in space not only provide signal detection technology for military radars, but also support mobile phone services. The appearance of icBM is to play the role of artificial intelligence to the extreme. Past wars also put a lot of demands on time and space, which explains why there are so many wars between neighboring countries. But modern militaries have broken out of this constraint, and military experts can target any military target with the touch of a button. And intercontinental missile can be precisely against any military targets. In addition, AI has many applications in interceptor missiles. With radar detection, we can also use missiles in the air to intercept incoming objects.

The development of artificial intelligence in the military field not only shapes the modern national defense war, but also plays a certain role in protecting the life and health of soldiers (Katz, 2020). During World War II, many countries planted bombs in different places to thwart enemy attacks. But in the peace years after the war, many people were injured because they didn’t know there were bombs in these places. Soldiers clearing these dangerous areas also take their toll. The emergence of artificial intelligence has effectively solved this problem. The mine-clearing robot invented by the United States in 2018 can efficiently detect the location of bombs in different areas, and then can automatically dig these bombs. The invention of artificial intelligence has greatly protected the safety of soldiers and residents and brought so many benefits to our society.

With the continuous development of network technology, artificial intelligence will play a more and more extensive role in more fields. Now, we are increasingly using electronic devices to pay for transactions and transfer money. Artificial intelligences are also playing a vital role in medicine as well. Patients go to the hospital for a check-up and then leave. An electronic report is sent to the patient and family, along with a doctor’s advice on the patient’s condition. Artificial intelligence makes our work and study more convenient, and the internet has gradually become a part of our daily life. Given the fact that artificial intelligence has brought so many benefits to our lives, I think that our lives will be replaced by artificial intelligence everywhere in the future. This is the way that the society is going, and we must go with it. College students are looking for jobs after graduation, and everyone is holding a variety of honorary certificates and diplomas. Their resumes and complicated documents dazzle enterprise recruiters. With the continuous development of digital technology, every college student’s graduation file will be presented in an electronic format in the future. This digital archive contains all student information as well as awards, certificates, and university experience (2015). And when students apply for positions, they can submit the electronic version of their resumes and personal files at any time. Employers can select suitable candidates according to their files. These electronic materials are all taken charge of by schools and education departments, and other personnel are not qualified to modify college students’ electronic files, which can to a certain extent eliminate the occurrence of certificate fraud. 

At present, the outbreak of the epidemic has greatly restricted people’s lifestyle and travel. People have been forced to stay at home for long periods of time, and with the pandemic likely to be around for years to come, the only form of entertainment will be video games. In the coming decades, artificial intelligence will become more popular, which is the trend of the time and the inevitable development of society. At present, the ID card is a necessary document for everyone. Whether it is to buy a train ticket or go out to work, the ID card is necessary for most people. But the loss of ID card has caused great trouble to people’s work and life. I believe that in the future, ID card will also appear in the form of an electronic version, and everyone can use the electronic version of ID card anytime and anywhere by mobile phone. When you change your profile picture or apply for a new ID card, you can apply directly through the internet, and you don’t have to go to the household registration office and spend many days to re-apply. All of these will be realized considering the convenience brought to us by artificial intelligence.

The spread of artificial intelligence indicates a huge shift in people’s lifestyles and social cultures (Fisk, 2010). The quickening pace of social life forces us to have less time to deal with one thing. In the past, we used to write our work records with a pen. But we like things that save time and don’t require effort, so we have grown to like using keyboards to work on computers. In a word, laziness is a basic human trait and we are not good at accepting things that are too laborious. Our need force us to constantly find something more convenient and faster to replace the things before. Throughout the human history, the history of our human society has been about finding things that are more convenient. In feudal society, people could only harvest crops by manual labor, which was extremely inefficient. At that time, people were eager to harvest crops without manual labor. This desire has become a reality today and now mechanized grain harvesting eliminates the need for labor and a large amount of time to harvest crops, bringing great help to food production and social development. People used to think it would be great to be able to get around without walking on two legs. Such ideas inspired people to invent the automobile. The advent of the automobile changed history, promoting economic and cultural exchanges between different places. In the past, people in different areas could only communicate by letter. Letters can take many days to communicate. People can’t help but wonder when we can achieve timely communication between people. This good wish was realized in time. With the advent of mobile phones, we can communicate with each other anytime and anywhere. So what drives us as human beings is what we are.

Contextual Essay

The report focuses on the use of artificial intelligence in the military and suggests that AI will continue to play more roles in other fields. The combination of some phenomena in life and artificial intelligence illustrates the importance of research. Electronic files are now very useful in teaching and heavy books are a thing of the past. At work, paperless office is the specific performance of the use of digital products. All the staff work by computer. This phenomenon not only reduces the social demand for paper products, but also protects wood and the environment. This paper is to cite some daily phenomena in life to illustrate the research value of artificial intelligence. The article also points out that during the epidemic phase, artificial intelligence has become very helpful. It is inseparable from people’s lives. Then the paper also mentioned that human inertia is the fundamental premise for human to promote social development. The fundamental reason is the pursuit of convenience and efficiency.

However, artificial intelligence also brings some challenges to our lives that cannot be ignored. The highly developed artificial intelligence also makes us must think of the scenes in science fiction movies that robots rule the whole human world (Golder et al., 2017). Although this is a fictional scene in the movie, artificial intelligence is gradually replacing human labor in real life. The advent of translation software has forced interpreters out of their jobs, and the multilingual translation capabilities of translation software have made human beings very small in the face of artificial intelligence. Robots driving cars can reduce the occurrence of car accidents on account of the appearance of robot’s drivers. After all, robots will not drink and fall asleep and even will not violate traffic laws when driving.
