In my experience, "Artificial Intelligence" is simply a job humans do right now, that computers can do with current, or slightly future, technology. If computers do it (and have been doing it) for a while, its given a new name. Ex: "Reading text" used to be an AI job. today its called optical character recognition, or OCR. In WW2, you'd need a pilot to kamikaze an airplane into a ship, or whatever other target, with reasonable accuracy. Today, we have autonomous flying machines that do the same thing. But we've been doing it for decades so its not AI anymore. ----------- Honestly, if you could load an M777 155mm gun with the same reliability and cheapness as a grunt soldier, you'd probably have a bigger effect on modern warfare than hypothetical $billion AIs running off of 5000 GPUs. We _do_ have autoloaders for M109 Paladins and such. But getting the cost down and reliability up is a big deal.
