China is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) throughout its military to change how it communicates, jams and fights, according to local media.
The country is reportedly advancing an “AI Plus” strategy to implement technologies in its electronic warfare (EW) systems to confuse enemy jammers, according to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report earlier this month.
AI should be able to help Chinese researchers predict how to jam drones that are up to 5,000 kilometres away without using satellites, which the report said will be helpful for the Chinese during solar storms or electronic attacks.
China is also reportedly using AI to simulate radio behaviour in the air and sea, which could establish instant communication between drones and submarines, SCMP reported.
China is seen as the main competitor with the United States in the race to adopt AI throughout all sectors, including the military.
