Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing modern warfare. The US and China are battling to lead this new arms race. In 2020, a Turkish-made drone killed a person in Libya without human intervention. It is the first documented killing by an autonomous machine. China is leading this new race. There are reports claiming that by 2026 it could have fully autonomous weapons operational.
AI is also used to process and analyze information faster. It improves decision-making and efficiency on the battlefield. The Chinese military considers AI essential to identify and attack enemy vulnerabilities at a speed that prevents reaction. Russia, China’s ally, has preferred to focus on disabling its adversaries’ command and control systems through the use of AI. Collaboration between Russia and China in the field of AI could change the dynamics of the global technology race.
In addition, China can quickly integrate AI advances into its state defense sector without the bureaucracy that holds the United States back. The slow pace of defense contracts with private companies, which also face ethical and financial dilemmas, slows down U.S. military AI. In 2024, Google abandoned its commitment not to develop AI for weapons. The tech giant’s decision could be decisive in the race. That policy change shows that U.S. companies see this technology as inevitable. They need to get in on it to avoid losing their own trade war with China.
