China has intensified its diplomatic and military actions against Taiwan, causing concern among US officials and regional allies that Beijing is planning to reclaim the island through force.
If predictions of a potential Chinese military takeover of Taiwan come true, the US could employ artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technology to help distinguish between routine military drills and an actual invasion, as many anticipate.
Experts suggest that AI and machine learning (ML) could enhance the speed and efficiency of war plan development, intelligence assessments, and targeting effectiveness for the US and its allies in the region.
Adm. Montgomery on AI and ML in US Intelligence Enhancement
Enjoying a well-deserved break Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, currently serving as senior director of the Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, shared with Fox News Digital the potential of AI and ML in aiding US intelligence analysts to handle the vast surveillance data from China and the Western Pacific Ocean.
“This data must be quickly processed, assessed, and shared, and AI and ML can help streamline and enhance this procedure.”
According to Montgomery, this can provide decision-making advantages to the US military and policymakers.
It’s common for decision-makers to misinterpret the intentions of hostile forces, often confusing training exercises with real military action.
New technology can help avoid the risk of errors causing a potential armed conflict.
When faced with uncertainty about the enemy’s intentions based on their positioning in the field, it becomes necessary to delve deeper, relying on data, analysis, and expertise.
What do those signs and alerts signify?” Adm. Samuel Paparo, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet who was recently nominated to lead the US. Indo-Pacific Command, shared insights at a conference hosted by the Defense Innovation Unit, as reported by Breaking Defense.
