• The first was the invention of gunpowder by people in ancient China.
• And now, war has – like so many other aspects of life – entered the age of automation.
• And all of this raises the question: why has the government’s recent defence strategic review failed to seriously consider the implications of AI-enabled warfare?

AI has crept into Australia’s military

• On the sea, the defence force has been testing a new type of uncrewed surveillance vessel called the Bluebottle, developed by local company Ocius.
• The government’s just announced A$3.4 billion defence innovation “accelerator” will aim to get cutting-edge military technologies, including hypersonic missiles, directed energy weapons and autonomous vehicles, into service sooner.
• You’d expect AI and autonomy would be a significant concern – especially since the review recommends spending a not insignificant A$19 billion over the next four years.

Countries are preparing for the third revolution

• Around the world, major powers have made it clear they consider AI a central component of the planet’s military future.
• The House of Lords in the United Kingdom is holding a public inquiry into the use of AI in weapons systems.
• Unless we give more focus to AI in our military strategy, we risk being left fighting wars with outdated technologies.

Future regulation

• I was invited as an expert witness to an intergovernmental meeting in Costa Rica earlier this year, where 30 Latin and Central American nations called for regulation – many for the first time.
• Regulation will hopefully ensure meaningful human control is maintained over autonomous weapon systems (although we’re yet to agree on what “meaningful control” will look like).
• We can still expect to see AI, and some levels of autonomy, as vital components in our defence in the near future.

We need to prepare

• A review that ignores all of this leaves us woefully unprepared for the future.
• We also need to engage more constructively in ongoing diplomatic discussions about the use of AI in warfare.
