Artificial Intelligence is not Artificial Leadership.
"You can't AI yourself to be the best maneuver brigade commander out there," LaNeve said. "You use AI as a tool to help you push the formation, use the tools to defeat the enemy, but you still have to be grounded in the core tasks that you’ve been assigned."
I recall that in the Cold War the Soviets wanted computers to actually make the decisions of officers leading combat units. I don't remember the level of command. I think it was more for company commanders. This would make up for lack of an effective NCO corps and for poor initiative in officers. It failed.
We really shouldn't try the same thing believing AI can replace well-trained officers and NCOs. AI is just a tool that can make good leadership more effective. Or make poor commanders FUBAR at the speed of AI.
But I won't be shocked if the Russians and Chinese try the same path.
