How AI is turning a friend to take on that deadly foe

India is trying to master third generation warfare, going by the statements from the Centre. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently stated that Artificial Intelligence can be used in a wide range of areas, including guarding the country's borders and securing outer space. Ajay Kumar, Secretary, Defence Production, too thinks AI can be used by all the three forces as it would be a "big area" in future warfare. A 17-member task force headed by Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran has been set up to look into this area. Countries are spending billions of dollars to collaborate with tech giants to use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to produce weaponry for New Age warfare.
