ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MILITARY AVIATION

摘要

In general terms, AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. From their very inception, computers have been executing tasks that the human brain can and have attained much higher speeds than the human brain. However, those essentially computational tasks could be generally clubbed under Common Artificial Intelligence (CAI) while another term, General Artificial Intelligence (GAI) pertains to cognitive functions i.e. thinking faculty of the brain. A nebulous Al concept is "singularity" which envisages computer programmes becoming so advanced that AI transcends human intelligence, potentially erasing the boundary between humanity and computers. The currently predicted time for that to happen is around 2045. Meanwhile, current research endeavours to elevate CAI to GAI by understanding how the brain functions and then having AI machines mimicking the processes.
