Amnesty International means that armies should focus on deceiving an enemy instead of hiding

Deceptions are war games in the end. Treating enemy leaders to expect an attack in the wrong place, or deceiving them to reduce your strength is much stronger than tanks or bombs.

But what if the enemy was strengthened through a thinking computer?

Successful operations must now deceive human leaders only, but artificial intelligence that advises them, according to the US military officer. Russia and China – with its central and central control and control – may be particularly vulnerable if artificial intelligence is deceived.

Mark Askio and Antonio Salinas said in “Leaders”, leaders can no longer rely on traditional methods of deception such as hiding forces or equipment. article For the Modern War Institute in West Point. “Instead, the formation of perceptions in the environments rich in sensors requires a shift in thinking-from hiding information to processing how the enemy interprets, including artificial intelligence systems and tools.”

Historically, the leaders went to the extreme to deceive the enemy generals using the wrong guidance, the armies of trap, and allow the wrong war plans. Today, countries will have to focus on “feeding the exact opponents if the misleading data that can address their interpretation of information and disappoint their activity,” said the article.

The idea is to convert artificial intelligence into Achilles heel to the enemy leader and his employees. This can be done by making their “artificial intelligence systems ineffective and breaking their confidence in those systems and tools.” “Leaders can overcome artificial intelligence systems with wrong signals and provide them with unexpected or new data; artificial intelligence tools excel in identifying patterns, but they struggle with understanding how to inform new variables (outside training data) or change the context of the situation.”

For example, “slight changes in the appearance of the drone may determine the identity of artificial intelligence.” “People are unlikely to be thrown through small or hidden adjustments, but artificial intelligence.”

To determine the intentions of the enemy or targeted weapons, modern armies today depend on huge amounts of data from a variety of sources ranging from drones and satellites, to pedestrian patrols and usual radio signals. Information is so abundant that human analysts are drowned.

What makes artificial intelligence very attractive is its speed in analyzing huge amounts of data. This was a blessing for companies like Scale Ai, which won the profitable Pentagon contracts.

However, the strength of artificial intelligence enlarges the damage it can cause. “Amnesty International can coordinate and implement defective responses much faster than people alone,” said Askio and Salinas.

The authors told Business Insider that the deception of artificial intelligence could lead to “poor allocation of enemy resources, the delay of responses, or even friendly fire accidents if Amnesty International erred for goals.” By feeding the wrong data, one can address the enemy’s perception of the battle stadium, and create opportunities for surprise. “

Russia and China are already devoted great efforts to military scientists. Russia Artificial intelligence is used in drones and Cyberwarfare, while the Chinese army uses a Deepseek system for planning and logistical services.

But the stiffness of Russian and Chinese driving structures makes any dependence on artificial intelligence. “In such systems, decisions often depend on the flow of information from top to bottom, and if artificial intelligence is fed up, this may lead to a widespread bad judgment,” the authors said. “Moreover, the central structures may lack flexibility in quickly adapting or stimulating information, making them more vulnerable to deception if they cannot protect their systems.”

In other words, the wrong images of enemy sensors, such as video cameras, are fed to try to make artificial intelligence speeding up to the wrong conclusion, which leads the human leader.

Of course, China and Russia – and other opponents such as Iran and North Korea – will seek to exploit the weaknesses of Aiminana Ai. Thus, the US military must take precautions, such as protecting data that feeds artificial intelligence.

Either way, the constant presence of drones in Ukraine shows that comprehensive maneuvers and sudden attacks of Napoleon or Rommel have become remnants of the past. But as an MWI article indicates, monitoring can determine the enemy’s strength, but not the enemy’s intention.

“This means that the deception should focus on forming what the opponent believes that it happens instead of avoiding the discovery completely,” the article said. “By formulating a certified deception-through signals, false headquarters, and logistical guidance-leaders can lead the enemy from artificial intelligence and human decision makers to make ineffective decisions.”

Like any fraud, military deception is more effective when it enhances what the enemy already thinks. The article indicates to Cannae Battle On 216 BC, when the Roman army was almost eliminated by Carthage. Intelligence was not the problem: the Romans could see the Carthaginian forces made for the battle. But Hannibal, the legendary leader, deceived the Roman leaders in the belief that the Carthaginian line was weak. When the Romans attacked the center, the Carthaginian Knights were hit by the wing in the Pincer maneuver that brought the legions and destroyed.

Later on thousands of years, use the allies Detail of deception To mislead the Germans about the place where the D. Hitler and his generals will believe that the amphibious attack will occur in the Calais region, the closest to the allied ports and air covers, instead of the remote area of ​​Normandy. Fake armies in Britain, with tanks and fake aircraft, not only the Germans are convinced that Calais was the real goal. The German High Command believed that Normandy’s landing was a trick, and thus kept strong protectors in Calais to repel the invasion that did not come.

The drones and satellites have improved the battlefield to an extent that Hannibal cannot imagine. It can scare artificial intelligence with wide amounts of sensor data. But there is still the fog of war. The article concluded that “artificial intelligence will not eliminate the chaos of war, deception and uncertainty – but rather will reshape how these factors appear.” “While intelligence, monitoring and reconnaissance systems may provide accidental clarity, they will never provide perfect understanding in the actual time of intentions.”
