China Creates First AI Commander That Can Operate in War-like Events Without Human Intervention
In a groundbreaking development, Chinese scientists have created the world's first AI commander capable of operating autonomously in war-like events. This "virtual commander," confined to a laboratory at the Joint Operations College of the National Defence University in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, mirrors the abilities and flaws of human military leaders, representing a significant leap in military technology. This AI commander, modeled after human counterparts, is designed to replicate the experience, thought patterns, and even the personalities of human military leaders. It has been granted supreme command authority in large-scale computer war games involving all branches of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). These simulations allow the AI to learn and adapt rapidly, evolving through continuous virtual warfare. The research project, led by senior engineer Jia Chenxing, was detailed in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language journal *Common Control ...
