AI at War- The Ukraine Experiment?

 Large language models are programing paradigms to train AI systems to resemble human speech and discourse. Joined with search algorithms it is a formidable tool permeating the contemporary Internet and society. I was interested in the development and use of large learning systems to find optimal use of military assets in war. I would guess that the Ukraine war presently being fought has heavy use of AI algorithms in all phases of allocating optimal placement of combat assets.

Of possibly more interest is the use of A.I. expert system in determining the optimal moment to attack an enemy from basic ground, land and sea assaults to chemical, nuclear and biological attacks. An AI system could best determine when the optimal moment is including millions of factors such as weather, state of readiness of combatants, possibility of retaliation and so on far exceeding a President's knowledge, or even that of military leaders. It is interesting to consider the delicate balance of mutually assured destruction and dueling in effect by AI systems in the near future.

Everyone loves AI- it will add trillions and trillions to deep pockets. In fact there is a profusion of course available even for free in learning A.I. After completing or nearly so a course on the 800 year old Magna Carta I started a brief course on Generative A.I.- Hence this post.
