"A key area the PLA is researching is artificial intelligence as one of the most significant of the disruptive technologies. The incorporation of intelligent technologies into weapons and equipment, what the PLA refers to as “intelligence-ization” (zhiyehua; 智能化), is viewed as a new revolution in military affairs and a key to warfare in the post information age. The PLA views this technology as a potential game changer providing an opportunity for less advanced countries to overtake the world’s advanced militaries. The 19th Party Congress which accelerated the military modernization plan also placed a priority on speeding up the development of military intelligent technologies (PLA Daily, November 14, 2017).
PLA theorists view the development of disruptive technologies as a nonlinear process that can lead to a shock wave causing a technological avalanche. This will lead dramatic changes in industry and economies, society, and the power of countries (PLA Daily, February 10, 2017). However, technological development and equipment modernization could be the easy part of the PLA’s modernization effort. Ongoing reforms of military education, training and exercises, and development of joint operations are critical areas where they cannot fail if the PLA hopes to optimize the employment of new technologies through innovative operational methods. PLA is deficient in these areas by its own estimates."

Appreciate this share; AI is the future and robots could replace humans in, first, labor and then, in management. From self-driven cars to household chores, BOTS are slowly taking the show; Microsoft and IBM have been in R&D over AI and BOTS are the talk of the town, even in Bollywood. Interesting indeed!

China is currently buying up land and space for military operations, just as the U.S. did earlier. Although China is racking up debt rapidly, it sees such investments as a means to garner international acceptance. Earlier, such investments were commercially driven and, they were opportunities to gain financially. The TanZam Railway in East Africa is a great example; however, today, this project and others are part of the larger plan of expansion to connect China with Asia, Africa and Europe; a Chinese Raj.
