Chapter 3462: Draw a red line for the intelligent auxiliary combat system
Speaking of this, Huang Qiang looked at Wu Hao and continued: "You should know that the most basic and important thing for any weapon and equipment is safety and reliability. Without these two items, no matter how excellent the performance of this weapon and equipment is, how powerful it is,
It will definitely not be used.
Because it is impossible to equip and use an out-of-control weapon, who knows when it will have problems. Don’t hit the enemy before the time comes, hit yourself first.
Especially for special weapons and equipment like submarines, safety and reliability are particularly important."
Huang Qiang's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Indeed, the safety and reliability of intelligent auxiliary combat systems are important issues they must face.
After pondering for a moment, everyone began to whisper to each other, and then looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his answer.
After all, in the field of artificial intelligence technology, especially the application of artificial intelligence in military weapons and equipment, Wu Hao and others have always been at the forefront domestically and even internationally.
Everyone is very curious about what kind of answer Wu Hao can give to this most controversial topic in the field of artificial intelligence weaponization.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wu Hao nodded slightly calmly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "As for safety and reliability, I think this is an issue that we must attach great importance to.
First of all, at the beginning of the design of this type of system, we will consider safety and reliability as the most important considerations. We will use the most advanced technical means to conduct rigorous testing and verification of the system to ensure that it can operate under various extremes.
It can operate stably under any conditions.
Secondly, we will strengthen data security protection.
Intelligent auxiliary combat systems involve a large amount of sensitive information, so we must ensure that this information will not be leaked or used by malicious attackers.
Therefore, we will use the most advanced encryption technology and firewall technology to comprehensively protect data.
Finally, in fact, we have been working closely with various branches of the military, including the navy, to jointly develop a complete set of safety operating procedures and emergency plans.
This ensures that if any unexpected situation occurs, we can respond quickly to minimize losses."
Having said this, Wu Hao paused, glanced at everyone present, then turned his attention to Huang Qiang, and then said.
“In fact, this issue has been raised since the emergence of artificial intelligence systems and their introduction into the field of weapons and equipment, and it is still a very controversial issue.
To be honest, no matter what my answer is today, whether it satisfies everyone, the controversy in this area will not stop and will continue.
Even judging from the current situation, it will last for a long time, and even if the last party wins, it will not end this dispute."
"What I want to say is that this intelligent auxiliary combat system, no matter what aspect it is used in, whether it is aircraft, ships, tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, or submarines.
Its purpose is to assist our combat personnel in completing heavy combat tasks, thereby improving operational efficiency, enhancing the performance of weapons and equipment, and enhancing overall combat effectiveness.
In other words, it is an auxiliary combat system that only serves auxiliary combat tasks. It is the combatants who actually make decisions and conduct battlefield command and control."
From this aspect, it is a tool, a tool that can improve combat effectiveness. Like other tools, it requires people to control it and use it to bring out its most powerful performance."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao said in a gentle tone: "Of course, the biggest difference between it and other tools, equipment, and equipment is that it has a very powerful thinking ability and a certain degree of independent decision-making and control capabilities.
Therefore, we have set an insurmountable red line for it, or for this type of artificial intelligence-assisted combat systems used in the field of weapons and equipment, that is, all artificial intelligence-assisted combat systems cannot be separated from human control or violate human control.
The person has the final control over the instructions.”
Having said this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, giving everyone a little time to digest and react, and then spoke in a more serious tone.
“It’s just that due to combat needs, we will allow this type of artificial intelligence-assisted combat system, or the related weapons and equipment equipped with this system, to have certain independent decision-making and control capabilities.
But this is also based on the limited independent decision-making ability based on the person's permission and strictly executing the person's instructions.
So from this aspect, it will not escape human control. At least our artificial intelligence-assisted combat system is safe and reliable and will not escape human control.
As for other such intelligent auxiliary combat systems, I can't guarantee whether this is also the case."
Wu Hao's words made everyone present feel very satisfied. They knew that Wu Hao was a rigorous and responsible scientist, and he would definitely put safety and reliability first.
Wen Changhong also nodded at this time and said: "Representative Huang's question is very critical, and it is also an issue that we must consider.
But I think that as long as we attach great importance to this issue and take practical measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the system, then we can confidently apply the intelligent auxiliary combat system to submarine operations."
As Wen Changhong's words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room became slightly more relaxed. Wu Hao's eyes swept across the crowd again, and then he spoke slowly.
“I know that the development of artificial intelligence technology brings us countless possibilities, but it also brings many unknown risks and challenges.
These risks and challenges are not only technical, but also ethical and moral."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao emphasized: "However, I believe that as long as we face these challenges with a responsible attitude and explore the unknown with a scientific spirit, we will be able to find a solution to the problem.
Regarding the safety and reliability of intelligent auxiliary combat systems, we have developed a series of strict testing and verification processes.
It is not only necessary to ensure the stable operation of the system under normal conditions, but also to ensure that the system can still maintain a high degree of reliability and safety under extreme conditions."
In addition, we are constantly exploring new technical means to further improve the security and reliability of the system.
For example, we have developed a new encryption technology that can ensure the absolute security of system data during transmission."
What is the use of this technology? It can prevent enemies from remotely attacking and controlling our intelligent combat systems and intelligent unmanned equipment through hacker technical means, so that they can be used by them.
Not only in the field of communications, this technology also performs well in terms of system encryption. It can greatly prevent the enemy's high-tech weapons and equipment from being paralyzed by the protagonist in two or three attacks as shown in movies and TV dramas.
