The role of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in the decision-making center of the US mosaic war

Abstract

On February 11, 2020, the Center for Strategic and Budget Evaluation of the United States released the report “Mosaic War: Using Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems to Implement Decision-Making Warfare.” In response to the strategic competition of major powers, the report recommends that the US Department of Defense abandon the current concept of war of attrition as the center and adopt decision-centered warfare. The report analyzed the necessity and basic connotation of the implementation of decision-centered warfare, pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems created conditions for the implementation of decision-centered warfare, and analyzed the force design required to realize the decision-making center warfare represented by mosaic warfare. In addition, Command and control process changes.
