China’s Military AI Is Reshaping Modern Warfare

(RAD: Remember that China is developing AI to solve solutions in a distributed approach, instead of centralized control. For example, their DeepSeek AI is open source & can be used by anyone. They have many other AI distributed systems that can be used to solve problems. — RAD)

The Chinese People's Liberation Army's (PLA's) top engineers and military academies are now developing AI that can detect, target, and eliminate enemies without human intervention.

Inspired by predator behavior in nature, these algorithms are modeled after how animals like hawks hunt. In simulated combat, drones using these algorithms wiped out five opponents in just 5.3 seconds, no human input needed.

🔸Chinese drones are also learning "swarm behavior," mimicking the evasive and dispersive tactics of birds to avoid enemy fire and outmaneuver opponents in real-time. The PLA is creating an entire ecosystem of autonomous units where drones hunt, cover, and adapt.

🔸Unlike Western forces that still rely on human decision-making, China is moving towards a "human-out-of-the-loop" approach. The operator becomes an observer or controller.

🔸The real power lies in China’s industrial might. While the US can only produce a few tens of thousands of drones annually, China manufactures over a MILLION, making mass production a crucial advantage.

🔸China is also developing AI systems that affect the mind. New mobile units can create deepfake videos, project them onto buildings using lasers, and trigger chaos. Sound systems mounted on drones can cause psychological and physical distress, manipulating perceptions and creating panic.

Is the West ready for an AI-driven military revolution?
