Shi-commanders will replace China's army officers: why did it use and what they know

The artificial intelligence system is already involved in virtual wars. He quickly learns from the actions of the real military, and will soon be able to throw in the real battle of flocks of drones and combat robots. In the laboratory of the University of National Defense in Schiszjuan, a "virtual commander" was created, which accurately copying true warlords - a way of thinking, personality and even shortcomings. Why the China needed such a military shi, says South China Morning Post.

In large-scale computer military games, with the participation of all genera of the troops of the People's Liberation Army (NVAK), the AI ​​commander was granted unprecedented powers of the supreme command, he quickly studies and grows during virtual wars. Scientists have stated that Shi-technology has both potential and risk in military use, but this project offers "viable" solutions for drones and a flock of robot dogs. However, the command will remain in the hands of people.

The NVAK has prepared many operational plans for potential military conflicts in regions such as Taiwan and the South China Sea. An important task for scientists is to check these plans using computer modeling. Such simulations often require the participation of human commanders, but their number and accessibility are very limited, which makes it impossible to participate in a large number of military simulations.

But the Shi-commander could well replace officers in virtual battles virtual commanders copy the behavior of some real military from the higher team staff of the NVAK. The personality of each of them can be configured to certain situations: when necessary, it can be a prudent and restrained officer, or, conversely, risky and emotional.

The developers also noted that instead of using pure analysis, Shi-teams rely more on empirical knowledge when making combat decisions, extracting similar scenarios and quickly formulating viable plans. During simulations, scientists do not interfere with the process, allowing the neuromeal to learn, make mistakes and correct them, if possible. So far, the Shi-officer will not be allowed to command any units-it operates only within the laboratory of the University of National Defense.
