Fields of Application of Artificial Intelligence—Security Sector and Military Sector

Abstract

In this chapter you will see that face recognition plays a central role in many security applications. In China it is even used to install a huge social credit system to control the whole population. Predictive policing tries to anticipate crimes in order to avoid them or to catch the perpetrators red-handed. Huge “progress” with Artificial Intelligence is also achieved in the military sector. Billions flow into the development of AI systems there. The greatest risks of Artificial Intelligence are associated with the various forms of combat robots, because these will massively shift the “rules of the game” in armed conflicts.
