Depends on what you are talking about. Using an AI to work out ‘viable’ targets during the planning stage? That’s how you end up blowing up an Iranian girls school. Using AI to highlight vehicles and steer the drone into them after the command is given? That is becoming a necessity in Ukraine, where the jamming and other counter measures make remotely flying drones more and more difficult.

You can have swarms of drones that gather data and feed it to eachothers continuously, each making decisions individually and as a swarm, like a swarm of bees but million times as destructive, of course. But it’s just simply that 2 computers can communicate between eachothers so much faster and more efficiently than having humans in the loop Also this allows far better autonomous operation, quite like sending an elite team somewhere they have to operate with zero contact back home But yes, it’s also really fucking terrifying thought people have actually built these things and thought it’s a good idea

Send 1000 drones to an area. Program them to understand what different types of targets look like, basic maps, etc. Program them to know what a destroyed target looks like. Instead of 1000 drones attacking one target over and over, you get a swarm of drones moving on from destroyed targets and they can’t be stopped by communication jammers.

I think the main advantage is the drone, once locked onto a target, cannot be jammed. Both sides have a bunch of handheld jammers, as well as bigger vehicle mounted ones, which is why this and fibre optic drones are so common. You’d hope there wouldn’t be any school children in the middle of a war zone.
