3.5 Conclusion
A complete long-range vision of the vital job that AI has in the military is the basis of the innovative work being done in AI development. The vision must cover different key aspects of AI, taking into consideration the role AI plays in autonomous weapons and digital barriers, and figuring out precise arrangements for every one of them. It isn’t necessary that these approaches be in accordance with either broad universal supposition or strategy shifts in different nations on these issues, as long as they sufficiently serve national interests. The advancement of such an exhaustive vision will enable the Indian government to enhance the assignment of its significant research capacities towards the improvement of explicit AI abilities that would most profit the nation.
3.6 Future Work
The days are gone when armed soldiers will fight during warfare. Future wars will be fought based on technology, and countries who strike with advanced warfare technology will probably win the war. The world is preparing for future warfare. Currently, in the United States, DARPA is investing billions of dollars in research and development of robots for warfare. China is trying to become the leader in this technology by 2030; to achieve this goal they are investing billions of dollars to promote inhouse innovation and Silicon Valley startups.
As of now, many robots have been developed and many are still under development. Some of the names of upcoming robots are [31]:
Ripsaw MS1 (autonomous tank)
DRDO Daksh (support UGV)
Goalkeeper CIWS (autonomous ship defense system)
Atlas (search and rescue bipedal UGV)
Black Knight (UGV tank)
Protector USV (unmanned patrol boat)
