James Johnson highlights the mind, encompassing both human and machine, and the mechanisms of thought, including intelligence, consciousness, emotion, memory, and experience, to examine the effects of AI and autonomy on the human experience of war. Johnson explores the complex and often misunderstood ethical, moral, and normative implications of synthesizing man and machine in future algorithmic warfare, also known as AI-enabled centaur warfighting. At the core of these perplexing questions lie whether we are inevitably heading towards a scenario where AI-enabled autonomous weapons will take strategic decisions instead of humans, thus assuming ownership of those decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the critical question arises whether AI-powered systems can replace human commanders and, more importantly, whether they should. The AI Commander contends that AI cannot solely serve as passive and neutral force multipliers of human cognition. Instead, it is likely to evolve into strategic actors in war, either through conscious choice or inadvertently. While AI will undoubtedly transform the role and nature of human warfare, the outcomes may not align with the prevailing expectations of observers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 508g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 160 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198892182\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JamesJohnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45289894379770,"sku":"9780198892182","price":79.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_77e11478-4ac0-45d3-bf3c-bf52fdb78145.jpg?v=1706343252","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-ai-commander-centaur-teaming-command-and-ethical-dilemmas-9780198892182","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
