Brookings: Terminator on the Battlefield: Emerging and Evolving Tech in the Russia-Ukrainian War

 This discussion was held online November 1, 2022, 10AM, Michael O'Hanlon, Introduction; Amy J. Nelson, Brookings, Moderator with panelists: Samuel Bendett, Center for Naval Analyses; Prof. Jaclyn Kerr, Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative; Gavin Wilde, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Tom Stefanick, Talbott Center for Security, Strategy and Technology; and Margarita Konaev, Center for Security and Emerging Technology, Georgetown University.

Points made during the discussion:

1.  Heavy use of robotics--drones and remote control timed explosive devices, both long and short range traverses.

2.  Reliance on AI programs to coral and amass huge amounts of data for plotting troop locations on the ground.  Useful to the analyst in making responsive troop movements quickly.

3.  Experimental use of voice and sight recognition of personnel.  Not to be dependent upon at this stage of development.

4.  Heavy use of propaganda over the mass media by Russia and Ukrainian military.  Sometimes, effective, but many times ineffectual in swaying opinions and making decisions.

5.  So, for data collection, AI software of value and spotting troop locations, movements for use by trained military in moving troops around on the ground war.     

All in all, not much automated so far in the ground war.
