Tokyo Urges Self-Defense Forces To Expand Artificial Intelligence Use
Japan’s Defense Ministry has underscored the importance of expanding the use of artificial intelligence within the Self-Defense Forces, citing the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran as a prime example of AI’s role in modern warfare. The ministry’s analysis highlights how the US military’s use of AI has increased the speed of decision-making and improved operational efficiency, while Iran has countered with asymmetric warfare tactics, including the use of massive drones. This conclusion is set to be reflected in a planned revision of Japan’s national security documents by the end of the year, as reported by Jiji Press.
