BEIJING: Investing heavily in modernisation, the Chinese military has cautioned its armed forces against banking heavily on artificial intelligence saying that AI should be a tool to guide but not a replacement for human decision-making in the battlefield because it lacks self-awareness capability.
“As AI evolves, it must remain a tool guided by human judgment, ensuring accountability, creativity, and strategic adaptability remain at the forefront of military decision-making” an article published in People’s Liberation Army Daily, the official media of the Chinese military said on New Year’s Eve.
“AI must work in tandem with human decision-makers to optimise command effectiveness, enhancing rather than replacing human agency,” it said.
