China Questions the Safety of AI in Submarines
China has expressed serious concerns about using artificial intelligence in submarines. A recent study, reported by the South China Morning Post and led by Meng Hao, senior engineer at the Chinese Institute of Helicopter Research and Development, found that AI integration could decrease the survival chances of submarine crews by up to 5%. This revelation highlights a potential risk in the push to modernize military technology.
Impact on Global Military Technology
The use of AI in military hardware, especially submarines, has been a hot topic worldwide. While AI promises improved efficiency and smarter systems, Chinese researchers warn that this technology could come at the cost of human safety. The study suggests that over-reliance on AI systems might limit the crew’s ability to make critical decisions during emergencies. This could make submarines more vulnerable, despite their advanced features.
As countries race to modernize their naval fleets, China’s cautious approach serves as a reminder to balance innovation with safety.
