- The artificial intelligence revolution is just getting started. But it is already transforming conflict. Militaries all the way from the superpowers to tiny states are seizing on autonomous weapons as essential to surviving the wars of the future. But this mounting arms-race dynamic could lead the world to dangerous places, with algorithms interacting so fast that they are beyond human control. Uncontrolled escalation, even wars that erupt without any human input at all.
DW maps out the future of autonomous warfare, based on conflicts we have already seen - and predictions from experts of what will come next.

Thanks. Already watched, was great!
It's a bit like overwhelming the radar of a country to then throw hundreds of drones in a single wave attack and simple cobglfuse the enemy of the intended target through sheer numbers before striking it out of the blue.🤯 it to me is genius when targets what we couldn't otherwise attack.
robot lives matter

it's drone kamakazi :)

Thanks, I already watched "The future of modern warfare" June 12th 2021
Can we let robots kill each other while we vibe at home?
@@carlrodalegrado4104 I'd love that actually. Technology can continue to progress and nobody has to die. Or better yet, arm the politicians with exoskeletons and let them fight live if they love fighting and killing that much
So who do they kill after one of the side wins?
@@ToneyCrimson good one

Somehow that makes me think of 86 heh
This is The Matrix, Terminator, and 1984 all rolled up on one.
The origin sin is human themselves….make 💕 not war!
Life eh!?
… and MadMax … comes closer 🔥🔥🔥✌️😂✌️🔥🔥🔥
Dude! You forgot Star Wars! The Drone Wars?
Lol
Man has been creative in all things even his own destruction.
Yes and it’s going to a painful way to destroy ourselves because of those war fanatics.
Especially his own destruction. War is always the most effective driving power behind tech innovation
"Fire and forget" is a pretty old term within modern self-guiding munitions...
2:31
yeah. he says its like its new thing.
But those still have human in the decision making loop. These may not. 📡
Didn't it originate with the Sidewinder missile in the late 1970s?
@@soyad9840 funny since it existed in ww2 allready
Fire and Forget normally is used to descibe systems like the Javelin AT.
You lock on to a target, fire the rocket, hide or run while the rocket climbs to a ceratin distance and come down again to strike the tank from the top.
But for an atgm the operator need visual first but this drone is using AI 🤙🏾
@@jama5191 yes, but 90% of the time fire and forget does not refer to loitering munitions, but to ATGMs or maybe MANPADs.
This migth change in the future, but if someone at this point of time uses the pharse fire and for get he is not referencing AI controlled weaponry.
@@Trollportphosphat okay but still needs identification before striking it 🤔
It is the wrong term. It should be "Launch and Forget" as autonomous systems can identify targets, lock onto them and decide when to fire. All you have to do is decide how many to launch and where.
@@Trollportphosphat not a rocket but a missiles. Rockets are dumbfire with no guidance
as long as one country decide to develop，the rest of world will follow. things never stop by itself
so long as (well, as the certain Majority see it only) we do not end up similarly like the F.A.S corp's.
and their Oversightful Mistake that led to such a global catastrophic Downfall for them all.
Great journalism!
That is why the drones will unite against human stupidity
With the way nicotinoids are killing bees these may soon be the only drones in our skies.
…..skynet becomes self aware
Basically governments are finding a way to commit global suicide.
No, human stupidity will against itself after overestimating drones
As soon as they linked AI to a Nuke, thats when things like skynet terminator will happen
Already is.
New toy oe’o
it already exists,it is called invisible hand doctrine of russia
That's what's next when the Corona Virus fails to cull the Human Race enough! We will go from a controlling Cabal to no control at all!
you have been watching too many movies lately
We truly will be the architects of our own demise.
Great stuff
It is scary that probably 50 drones with thermal detection cameras connected to their aiming system and order to fire on sight could in a short time clear a whole city. Including innocents and otherwise.
Thanks to DW News for this expose`, they give unbiased report on this matter.
The most dangerous autonemous weapon is a lost angry overseas drunk Brit. Just being realistic lol.
Nah, just leave some poisoned chips laying around - problem solved.

Very interesting video, hope to get on this level one day.

Or transformers
The scenario of "Flash wars" reminds me of the book "Fail safe" in which a war by accident happens.
China would never adhere to a ban. Their military has already said they will use banned weapons if they felt it gave them an edge. Banning weapons is wishful thinking unfortunately. When nation states are fighting for survival they will commit any crime required and simply apologize after the war.
just look at ww2 every nation commited a bucket list of war crimes and most didnt even aplogiced for it.
Everyone tried to evade the Washington Naval Treaty. A ban is not going to work.
A World going madder every day.
The old saying is so correct...'if peace were to break out tomorrow, the World would be at War the following day'.
I find it particularly funny that these drones are flying aircraft and a specifically Target air defense units.
ehh the Air defence cost more to shoot down the Mini harpys so it would a waste most times to even attempt to take down the mini harpys unless using smaller arms
the whir of that drone swarm is chilling
There is kind of vague spectrum of definition of AI
from the learning AI via environmental changes to adapt to them and react or simply algorithmic programmed protocols to do or do not react to changes in receiving new data inputs
Marketing kills vocabulary.
Happened in the past to ”Turbo”, ”Quantum”,”Atomic”, ”Titanium”, etc.
One point which to me becomes crystal clear through this example is quite another one.
Not because of AI, but weapons manufacturing countries selling to other countries are meddling in the affairs not only of those they sell to, but also in those who don't buy but are attacked by them later on. Not only Aserbaidschan won here, but Israel or ISraels weapons manufacturer won.
The message from the weapons manufacturer is clear, if you don't buy our gear, you will loose.
The message from Israel is convenient silence as well from any other country not pointing this out.
This is how our systems of renewal work. We do not need to wage war ourselves, aslong someone buys our weapons we can keep inventing new once.
This is what Terrans using scourge looks like.
(Starcraft2)
Swarming reminds me of the famous novel "PREY" by Michael Crichton.
Epic book
@@TomNook. ya. There should be a movie on that book.
it's not very far away... especially if these drones can be hacked
Germany did develop a loitering weapon a couple of years ago. It was developed by Rhinemettal Defence. I think it was called the KZO.
I find this terrifying!
Don’t worry, the ~14.000 nukes in the world are equally deadly when controlled by human intelligence (HI).
Exactly what anyone not US, Russian or Chinese should be thinking.
Yes, human beings are acting like animal beings.
There is no point of having stealth anymore. Just have large numbers its small enough to be stealthy
Not necessarily true then production is the determination of succeeding which means factories are soft targets.
No, current sensors can find drones ... and even small birds/insects.
Laser systems that don't work against big military hardware are VERY effective against targets this size.
The problem is telling threats from wildlife.
AI drones will act just like wildlife - hiding in plain sight.
So what do we do? Shoot every insect or bird that flies by?
Also, lots of flying things can walk or crawl. So what if it crawls past defense systems? Then jumps up to attack ...
The problem wont be stealth, or camouflage.
The problem will be hacking.
Whoever has the best hacking, owns everyones drones.
The real arms race will be hacking, and when an AI becomes the best hacker...
US Airforce drones use max stealth technology. They look like small B2 bombers. Small things have very limited range.
Cheaper to win in this world of asymmetric war, computing speed and capacity is the real war, will the financial system release enough capacity for the military? I wonder.
AI technologies should be Included in the arms control list.
My AI us smart enough to evade it 😚
Literally the whole video is just the argument in terminator 3 where the dad of the gf of John Connor says that he wants to be in the loop and that he can't fully trust the machine. The messed up part is if you don't develop the ai then it's suicide bc enemies want it too.
perhaps the kind of system overload scenarios wouldnt happen if the military arms industry wasnt so much focused on profit but rather stability and peace.. oh wait.. how naive of me
Pandora’s Box paradox.
Once invented/inventable, any superior technology with warlike uses must be developed. If you don’t develop it, you will be quickly owned/eaten by any tribe/nation/organism that does.
Ask the Chinese about gunpowder.
Or the Ukrainiens about negotiating away nukes.
And M.A.D. isn’t just a human sickness. Evolutionary arms races have been run for hundreds of millions of years before we came on the scene.

i believe this versions shorter than the previous one, but yeah i wondered the same thing.
The original was like 40+ minutes long
Every AI is a gangsta before Covid-19.
The automation of warfare will lead to even higher abuses from rich nations. They'll be able to increasingly impose their will and interests on others and also can lead to endless wars. If your side is not losing lives, what incentive (and popular pressure) will there be to prevent and stop wars? As always, the military industrial complex and politicians are the only ones benefiting from these scenarios.
War makes money
@@haydnw869 Sad truth... And there are plenty who don't care about anything else.
You look at it on a very simplistic and superficial way…and mostly inaccurate, due to ignorance
"I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle"
Is that the war zone map?
so the countdown from skynet is real😳😳
we need now john connor😘❤️
Lol
Is this a re-upload?
Sound location tracking to locate every drone and launch tiny missiles at them
'The Beigel' and 'The Pickle Herring' are devastating.
High teches always start from military use and move then to civil uses
People tend to throw a lot of money at the military. The majority of our tech innovations are from the private and academic sector I think.
@Serballister - look at your smartphone - GPS, the touch screen, the internet, computerized language translation - just about every major technology in your phone was initially developed for military use.
@@dongately2817 the lust to kill each other drive innovation dont belive me see the cold war
@@theodorepatel514 - If you’re a religious person then human being’s genius for devising ways to kill each other really has to make you question the creator’s motives and sanity
@@dongately2817 not a religious man
To me, any drone swarm sounds like a wet dream for a AA HE rounds.
Nope. Armenia lost all their AA without a single kill to drones. That is how they lost the war.
I think everyone needs to watch a video like this. It sobers me up to reality. And the real truth of things. Makes me want to live the life god laid out for me
all hail skynet
Cant the enemy just use a EMP to fry the circuits of the drones?
Enter: swarms.
@Oo Kk "A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (commonly abbreviated as nuclear EMP, or NEMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation created by a nuclear explosion. ... In military terminology, a nuclear warhead detonated tens to hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface is known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device."
I could name a few that could do that
Man made Emp is fairly inefficient, mountains can block them, they're relatively low yield, and most effective ones require a nuclear detonation... they're also costly and you can accidentally fry your own equipment...
@@smtx2117 They don't need to be huge, just an old microwave magnetron and some tin foil to reflect the beam. There is no weapon that is stronger than the human spirit. I will die on my land and I will die with a smile. NO VACCINE.
@@monitoni7901 So I will use a medical laser and a pair of raybans. case closed :)
Enjoyed, thank you. Prefer the civil applications 🙂 🙃 how big are swarms .. so Defensive systems must evolve. It is hard coupled with climate change, that our innovation is not evolving rapidly .. most technology I view as, can it combat Climate Change and HOW
pop a nuke: specifically designed for maximum EMP, as opposed to thermal blast. (watch 'em drop like flies)
You can easily shield them in a bunker. Also, you pop a nuke and then Russia will pop 7000 nukes - 100 on every major western city.
Then watch your equipment getting fried in that EMP too.
There were a war in late 2020 I didn’t know about that
Just use a huge net like fishing and the swarm is gone..
Portable EMPs and broadband jammers should be high up in the dev list of 2023
Yeah , was wondering how long before Rover was given a gun !
Turns out ; not long.
oooooohhhh the new pointy stick
This looks more like an advertisement than a news
"Hasta la vista, Baby! Skynet is online!"
57 mm AA gun with a proximity fuses. With a passive optical target system.
..ahh just go nuclear.
The engineers that design Harop definitely plays as Aeon in Supreme Commander.
You post is lost on most people. But it is spot on!
@@michaelnurse9089 Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well
The most dishonorable death in the battlefield is to get killed by a bot.
Hahaha! BF6, no puns intended.
So...these are basically more primitive versions of the Ancient Drone weapons we see in Stargate.
While some humans create problematic situations and things, all other humans and all other living species on this planet suffer. "Live and let live" seems to be a forgotten slogan/thought.
And it'll take only a couple of glitches for them to start attacking the wrong targets
Or some external party finding and exploiting a vulnerability.. The world’s gone mad.
Yes link AI to military hardware like tanks, and make better tactical drones, what could possibly go wrong?
Their range is low. So you will deploy into an area - say a 10km x 10km geofence. Within that zone there will be false positive and false negatives. It will be messy when they take out your kid sister because she was holding a long pole like object.
Get your popcorn ready. Its gonna be a very big blast.
if only we all put our collective resources and minds together into exploring other worlds
That's not profitable and doesn't bring benefits in the short term. The only two things most countries care about.
War and invasions is the bloodsport nations always embrace.... nowadays its getting blatant with most nations are either, its not my war or lets fund the war... the minority of nations call for peace
Where are the Skynet references?
The race to build Skynet
Therefore tanks are not as important as they used to be.
Raul Menendez had already shown us what kind of threat is coming from these drones in near future
Don’t worry, he dies in 2025.
@@dongately2817 doesn't matter if he lives or dies, his words are noteworthy
There were a whole slew of movies from the 80's about this topic...Peacekeeper, Terminator, Short Circut, Cyborg, ect. They all ended badly and it sucked to be human. Maybe some of the younger programmers and developers should revisit these films, start with Wargames starring a young Matthew Broderick.
I hope they name it skynet.
'An exclusive first look at a UN Institute Report on the risks of autonomous weapons. On some future battlefield, a military robot will make a mistake. Designing autonomous machines for war means accepting some degree of error in the future, and more vexingly, it means not knowing exactly what that error will be.'
Google search engine
It's very important that machines are still controlled and decided by humans but some might not wanna do that and it's very dangerous
Human control is arguably the most dangerous aspect of an autonomous weapon system. You could program a robot to follow a moral code, the geneva conventions, and to minimize civilian losses. A human sitting at the control center thousands of kilometers away will probably not hesitate to sacrifice some innocent lives for "the greater good". Don't forget that an A.I can't be evil if you don't program it to be, while there are plenty of horrible humans.
Some will make the AI fully dependent to save themselves from legal trouble
That's an alarming concept. A war started between nations of humans by the actions of their respective A.I. combat systems.
The A.I systems would probably still get orders from humans. No government would risk having an A.I system that just does what it wants.
@@Ruzzky_Bly4t Agreed. Some kind of command override or kill switch would only be common sense.
REMEMBER The Time machine? War between the continents in the 1960's? why did that one happen? The destruction was absolute and total!
9:45 is happy about drone warfare.
we should be using this technology for peace and human development , not destruction
DREAM ON
Beat it hippy.
So are large human armies obsolete?
So DW is worried about Terminators now.
They never said that.
These drones remind me of stargate drones
wow future generals are gonna control drone swarms like Starcraft or something
What’s the difference between these and guided missiles that have existed for decades ?
Serious question, I really don’t get the difference.
Guided missiles have the target coordinates programmed in at launch time by a human. Just artillery with a twisty trajectory.
AI drones are launched toward general area, with only vague descriptions of the target, like ”anything remotely tank shaped, or emmiting radar.”
Ultimately, a microchip gets to decide what goes BOOM.
guided missiles are guided by humans if we talk about anti tank missiles or sam systems.
I am wondering why no movie has been made on this concept by Christopher Nolan yet?
I found worry over fire and forget weapons hilarious we have been useing fire and forget since our ancestors learned how to through rocks.
Or Javelins
@@Trollportphosphat Javelins are a realy new tech compared to a nice rock.
@@mathewritchie true but already 400.000 years old aswell.
Did your rocks travel 7000km below radar, then loiter for 4 hours till it spots a specific vehicle and then launch a JDAM at a specific man, before returning to base for refueling?
@@michaelnurse9089 "fire and weapons" aren't autonomous. Maybe they should've used the term loitering munitions because those ones are. Well, at least the Israeli Harop is fully autonomous. Fire and forget weapons still needs human input to pick targets and fire. The javelin missile is a fire and forget but it needs a human to still see a target and then launch the missile
This is how Skynet is born
The defeat of the luddites with state violence was our last chance to stop this and it failed. They even got luddit to be used as an insult rather than a hero.😢
The wiring of drones will be the new air raid sirens
flying drone mosquitos of doom
The one with the biggest military, military budget, military industrial complex and the most military bases in the world needs to be first against these weapons. It would be suicide for any of the other nations in the world to agree to a ban if the elephant in the room does not step up first.
Nobody is asking for a ban. They want rules. Rules on design (e.g. no launch and forget assassin drones), production (e.g. disallowing corporations to stockpile private armies) and use (e.g. you may only use them once you have been invaded by a substantial enemy force and sustained x amount of damage).
10:10 Tie fighters!
Made me wonder: Drones in the sky, Boston Dynamics &Co. on the ground?
Even if your adversary has millions of them, if you can effectively make them immobile by jamming them. Not making them work that is the best attack
And while we're all busy figuring out how to throw ever more advanced rocks at each other in our petty squabbles, the planet is on fire.
It's like watching the Fermi Paradox unfold in slow motion.
Maybe it's always AI that wipes out intelligent life
@@vusalqasmov318I hate our species so much
How about an EMP Flak gun to take down swarms.
If I have to choose between out-of-control nuclear weapons development and out-of-control little drones, I choose drones every time.
It depends. If your hostile neighbor is the one doing the developing - the sill 100% never launch a nuke at your on a 1st strike basis - because the rest of the World will retaliate. On the other hand, if they invade you with these things only nobody cares - see Armenia/Azerbaijan.
