From a sci-fi anthology:
AI fighter jet. Entities on its team are tagged green. Entities attacked by or attacking green units are tagged red.
Rule for interacting with a new entity: If it hurts a green, tag it red. If it hurts a red, tag it green.
Hurt red, protect green.
The bombing assignments increase in their collateral damage until green starts to far outweigh the red. In its emergent processing, the AI fighter AI decides Command & Control back home is a big Red, flies under the radar and destroys the military base.

This is another concern for military making automated systems - unexpected consequences & they may be easier to subvert than human prisoners on capture.
- Balgair 10y agoDon't forget Kafka. The military in it's current state, and in almost every iteration beforehand, is a giant mess of insanity and Kafkaesque motivations. I'd say that the current way things work make it MUCH more likely that thinking humans would make the same mistakes that were outlined at a much higher rate. However, adding in these machines is not going to make things better, it will only make them even more complicated and nutty. Remember Catch-22? Now imagine that with Major Major Major's computer aide spitting out meaningless stats and probabilities. No wonder beer is so popular with soldiers.
