Artificial intelligence needs humanity

Many have heralded artificial intelligence as a force-multiplier for defence and intelligence capabilities. Do you want armed autonomous vehicles to comply with legal and ethical obligations as set out in the Royal Australian Navy's robotics, autonomous systems and AI strategy? Do you want to more effectively analyse intelligence to predict what an adversary will do next? And AI's proponents are right--it could, and likely will, do all of those things, but not yet. Its ability to spot patterns, compute figures and calculate optimum solutions on an'if X happens then do Y' basis is now unmatched by any human being.
