Luo Sheng saw the eyes of the big guys focusing on him, and everyone looked at him silently as if they were willing to hear the details.

I saw Luo Sheng open a folder he placed on the desktop and found a manuscript from it. This was the manuscript he drove out overnight for today's seminar yesterday.

In the past, he basically did not use manuscripts at some business forum exchange meetings, but today he must use it here, otherwise it would seem frivolous. Anything that involves national defense strategy is frivolous, even if it is clear.

Luo Sheng organized his words in his heart, and then calmly said: "Artificial intelligence enters the field of national defense strategy and national security and is regarded as a revolutionary technology, comparable to the discovery of fuel, electricity or nuclear weapons. Artificial intelligence technology has had a transformational effect on the world to a certain extent, such as in science and social media."

"How to view revolutionary artificial intelligence technology, is the consequences of this national security strategy and future international stability positive, negative or dual, as we gradually deepen our understanding of the militarization of artificial intelligence, the answers to these questions may be formed in the next few years."

At this time, the old general stared at Luo Sheng and asked several questions that the military wanted to know most and actively explore at this stage:

"So, what military applications may be available to artificial intelligence in the short term? What factors have potential impact on the stability of strategic deterrence? Related to this is how artificial intelligence changes the basic principles of deterrence? How does artificial intelligence military systems affect regional stability? What will be the link between regional stability and strategic deterrence? What will be the risk of unexpected consequences and strategic results brought about by artificial intelligence?"

These six questions can be said to be the core of this seminar. The veteran general didn't talk much, but they all looked at the key points, pointing to the root of the problem.

As a soldier, national defense and security are always the first priority for all considerations.

Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, looked at the content of the manuscript in his hand, and said: "The militarized application of artificial intelligence should be divided into two categories, namely, the application at the war level and the application at the strategic level."

Everyone nodded silently and agreed with this.

Luo Sheng continued: "In terms of the application at the war level, the first is the omnipresent and omniscient unmanned system; the second is the big data-driven modeling, simulation and war system; the third is the intelligence collection and analysis simulation system; the fourth is the integrated system that supports precise intelligence systems, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); the fifth is the precise strike system for strategic goals; the sixth is the effective missile defense system; and the seventh is the artificial intelligence network."

After Luo Sheng pointed out the seven application levels he described, he deconstructed them in detail one by one: "Developing a new generation of unmanned systems is a high priority for artificial intelligence military applications. Its focus is on various ground, ocean and air unmanned systems navigation systems, and air and sea platforms will also benefit from artificial intelligence guidance systems..."

While listening, everyone present whispered and nodded from time to time, and was also quite surprised.

The old general looked at Luo Sheng and smiled and said, "It seems that you have a lot of research on the application of this technology to militarization, which is good."

Of course, Luo Sheng studied it, but said modestly: "The chief has been too much. At best, I am a half-baked military fan. I hope to be cautious in some humble opinions. I cannot afford this mistake in national defense and security."

Regardless of the rest, let’s talk about it first. At this time, the basic operation is good and the risk control awareness.

Another military technology research scholar who attended the meeting said with a laugh: "No, Mr. Luo, your analysis is quite professional, most of which coincide with the military's exploration, and some additions are even more eye-catching. After all, they are experts in the field of artificial intelligence, more thorough than us. Your opinions and suggestions are very meaningful, and you don't have to be humble."

The seminar was quite relaxed, and Luo Sheng continued to answer the last question asked by the veteran general and said: "In terms of the possible unexpected consequences and risks of strategic results of artificial intelligence, I personally believe that the negative impact of this disruptive technology may exist in the following 11 aspects."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. The participant had been stunned and said, "There are so many?"

Luo Sheng said: "It's just some analysis of potential possibilities."

The old general said concisely: "What 11 aspects?"

Luo Sheng organized good words and explained one by one:

“Artificial intelligence may weaken the strategic weaknesses of both sides and thus increase the risk of war.”

“Getting advantage competition may bring new uncertainty to the future military balance.”

“Artificial intelligence systems are susceptible to input data and lead to unexpected consequences.”

“Quick decision-making and operational operations can be difficult to serve effective crisis management goals.”

“Many potentially positive regional deterrence effects from integrated ISR, defense and complex combat management common sense will not be realized in the short term.”

“Big data and machine deep learning may not solve the challenges of strategic warnings.”

“According to battlefield requirements, the tight operation and integration of multiple AI systems may produce unexpected results.”

“Whether there is human participation in every step of decision-making, the cycle will become more and more crowded.”

“Everyone’s perception and position on artificial intelligence are different.”

"The partnership between public and private will determine the future of artificial intelligence, but war will remain a national right."

"The last point is that war and peace are impossible and will not result from predictive analysis."

Luo Sheng stopped talking about the 11 risks in artificial intelligence he listed, and everyone present at the meeting discussed the potential risks in these 11 aspects.

Obviously, everyone attaches great importance to this and recognizes it.

After more than ten minutes of exchange and discussion, the veteran general also ended his silence and said: "It can be compared that the problems faced by the early internal combustion engines were reliability, cost, lack of standards for machines, lack of consistency in production, and the complexity of internal combustion engines to drive cars, which led to frequent failures."

While speaking, the old general looked at Luo Sheng and then looked around and continued: "Whenever new technologies emerge, this familiar story seems to be repeated. They could give people greater abilities at that time, and also had great safety and reliability risks."

"Sometimes, like internal combustion engines or aircraft, such problems can be solved. Sometimes, like military-purpose spacecraft or airship, the safety problem is so great that technology can never be as reliable and effective as an alternative."

After the veteran general's speech, Luo Sheng immediately said: "The future of artificial intelligence and war. The impact of this technology on the world will be far greater than that of military forces and war. The role of automation in future work will bring unprecedented economic and social effects."

A military expert at the meeting immediately looked at Luo Sheng and said: "Whether or not a military-level dedicated AI application is developed, artificial intelligence will be an inevitable choice for the military. National defense and security strategy is attracting academics, business and military. Perhaps Americans may know better than the British a century ago that widespread technological changes will affect their military advantages, but they are not enough to guarantee their victory."

After a moment, it was added again: "This is especially true when people think that all technology is the core of how the people and organizations use it. From the defeat of the Knights by the bow and arrow to the end of the era of battleship dominance, the powerful states believe that they are still in a leadership position until a home defeat, and history has since been subverted."

"We don't know if the result of artificial intelligence for military purposes will be the same. Even this seminar on the development prospects of artificial intelligence and security and reliability is not certain to some extent. It is possible that in the next 20 years, as a national strategic security analyst, considering the breadth of technology and specific technologies, what is very likely to happen is that the emergence of the era of artificial intelligence will somehow reshape the future global military."

Luo Sheng did not comment on this. After the other party finished his speech, Luo Sheng continued to express his opinion, saying: "The advantage of artificial intelligence is that despite the security and reliability issues, it can also foresee the risk of waiting for death when leading the global military field. From data processing to swarm concepts to battlefield management, artificial intelligence can help the army move quickly and accurately, while putting a fewer people in danger."

"Or it is not the case. The security and reliability issues unique to machine deep learning and neural network methods also mean problems such as confrontational data, which are challenging for many military artificial intelligence technologies. But I cannot deny that the application of artificial intelligence in the field of national defense is a general trend. If the country needs it, I will do my best to contribute my own efforts."

When they heard Luo Sheng’s final statement, the military tycoons present nodded secretly and were quite happy.

Everyone at the meeting participated in the discussion, expressed their opinions and spoke freely, and the debate was extremely fierce during the seminar.

The core of the discussion is continuous discussion and debate. Only when debate can potential hidden dangers become clearer and clearer the debate.

In fact, the military began dialectical about the application of artificial intelligence technology in the military field five years ago, and it became increasingly clearer in debate.

Finally, the veteran general who attended the meeting said again: "The military is highly concerned about the need for rapid expansion of the militarization of artificial intelligence to ensure that the country gains the greatest advantage, minimizes the negative impact on strategic stability, and prevents strategic surprises."

This statement was confirmed as a matter of fact that the military should apply artificial intelligence in the military field. Just like nuclear weapons, the best means and optimal solution to get rid of nuclear blackmail and nuclear threats is that it also has nuclear weapons.

The truth is the same.

In the next three days, Luo Sheng and the people from the National Academy of Defense, Military and Strategic Sciences conducted close discussions and exchanges for three consecutive days, and the results became clearer.

On the afternoon of the third day, Yang Hongyi found Luo Sheng again.

"Mr. Luo, after the military's research and decision, I was appointed to communicate with you. I was directly responsible to the military. At the same time, the military also decided to hand you three secret projects on artificial intelligence."

In the room, there were only Major Yang Hongyi and Luo Sheng at this moment. The latter immediately asked, "What three aspects of the projects?"
