AI cannot replace human decision-making on battlefield, Chinese military warns its forces

Investing heavily in modernisation, the Chinese military has cautioned its armed forces against banking heavily on artificial intelligence saying that AI should be a tool to guide but not a replacement for human decision-making in the battlefield because it lacks self-awareness capability.

“As AI evolves, it must remain a tool guided by human judgment, ensuring accountability, creativity, and strategic adaptability remain at the forefront of military decision-making” an article published in People’s Liberation Army Daily, the official media of the Chinese military said on New Year’s Eve.
