Robots are terrifying weapons.

Drones are new systems, but the counter-systems are already under development. 

The Chinese military has done. Extensive work with robotics. And the cooperation of human soldiers and autonomous systems. Chinese new robot wolves are impressive systems. They can cooperate with other manned and unmanned systems. And those robots can carry lightweight machine guns and grenade launchers. And they can also do things like suicide attacks. If robot dogs have suckers at their feet, those systems can climb over the glass windows on a straight wall. 

Those robot dogs can have points, where the quadcopter touches them and carries those robots. Or they might have propellers in those robots' feet. And that thing can make them more flexible than ever before. The modular systems, where separated quadcopters carry robot dogs, are easier to make. And when we look at the strength of those robots. In drill. 

They crashed the Taiwanese military in 10 seconds. The battle was a simulation. But that causes serious discussions. About the effectiveness of the Western military. We must realize that robots and drones are new systems. There are already developed microwave, radio-based EMP, and laser systems that can jam or destroy robots from the battlefield. We know that the tanks of the future are equipped with high-power EMP cannons that can use radio and/or microwaves to destroy incoming drone swarms.

We know that the tanks of the future are equipped with high-power EMP cannons that can use radio and/or microwaves to destroy incoming drone swarms. 

The EMP systems that can defend entire cities are easy to make. Only high-power radio or microwave impulses are needed to destroy entire drone swarms. And those weapons can be installed on aircraft, other drones, and mobile systems. The high-power radar can use high-power radio or microwave impulses. They destroy entire drone swarms. The difference between jammers and EMP is this. The EMP destroys electronics. Jammer just denies communication. 

Drones and other unmanned systems are advancing. Computer technology advances. Faster than ever before. The high-power computing. Makes single drones more intelligent and more independent. Those new drones don’t require networks. So, low-power jammers are ineffective. Against those drones, as well as. They are ineffective against optical wire control drones. That’s why the power of those EM-weapons must increase. 

And that means the EMP systems must be created to drop the drones. The reason for that is that the microwave systems can affect multiple drones. At the same time. The microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (MASER) or “microwave laser” makes it possible to create. Coherent, highly precise microwaves that can destroy single drones.

New drones are a challenge for security.

  New drones are a challenge for security. 

Geran 3 drone

The new jet-engined Shahed drones called Geran-3 cause problems for Ukraine's air defense. That is one of the things that the Ukrainian war has taught us. The rapid development of the drone industry can render countermeasures that were useful and effective a couple of weeks ago ineffective in current situations. Things like optical fiber-controlled drones are hard targets for defenders. 

Those things are almost immune to the normal jamming systems. The EMP pulses that can destroy electronic components or laser systems that can cut the command fiber are tools that can affect those drones. But the use of the non-coherent EMP means that their own drones and other vehicles in the EMP area are also in danger. The laser system should detect the optical fiber before it cuts that fiber. 

And fiber-controlled drones can also be put in chains. That improves their attack range. The optic fibers would be pulled through another drone, and the drone can make a chain that is hard to detect or avoid. There is also a possibility that drone swarms are controlled by using laser communication. The laser drone can be a fiber-controlled system. And it can send laser pulses to other drones wirelessly. 

The laser-controlled drones have one problem. They require straight eye contact or a fiber that transfers the command signal. Regular lasers have one problem in drone control. Those lasers must be aimed. Using high accuracy. Blinking holograms can help with that problem. The optical communication is harder to jam. But the laser rays cannot travel through the smoke and fog. Those things also cover drones from defenders. 

 The Shahed-drones are now dropping anti-tank mines. But there is a possibility that the jet-engine-powered versions of those drones can also carry anti-tank weapons. Those anti-tank or anti-radiation missiles can increase those drones’ ability to cause damage. And another thing is that those drones can use those missiles against the power stations or radar installations. 

And they can also disturb the air defense. That is the problem with weapon development. The solutions that were effective against propeller-engine Shahed-136 drones are not effective against jet engine versions of those drones. The jet-engine drone can fly much higher than those propeller drones. The next step will be  AI-controlled drones that can operate independently. The drone will fly near its target using inertial navigation. Or it can use TERCOM, the AI follows the terrain area, and the system compiles that data with images. Those are stored in its memory. 

When the drone is close to its target, the system starts to search point, that it must destroy. The system uses photographs that are stored in its memory to detect the target. And then the system orders the drone to dive. And make a kamikaze attack. Basically. Those drones can use similar systems that Javelin uses to detect targets. Image-based target recognition can be used in all types of missiles and drones.

What is life?

    What is life? 

What is life? That's the thing that the cosmobiologists and philosophers are thinking. We have an old description that life means the thing that is organic and can create descendants. That means the robot that can build a copy of itself acts like a living organism. The organism means a creature. That can create descendants. Defend itself. And react to stimuli.  So, if volcanoes erupt, the robot can run away. 

So the living organisms can make a copy of themselves. However, when we consider concepts like Von Neumann machines or self-replicating machines, we encounter issues that warrant reflection, such as robot factories being viewed as "living organisms." The fact is that the robot factory can create copies of robots that operate inside those factories. And the robot factory can create a copy of itself. The problem with the Von Neumann machines is that. Those machines operate as a whole. Whenever. The robot creates an identical copy of itself, which doubles the network-based solution calculating capacity. 

If it has orders on how to make the needed equipment. These kinds of things, like AI-controlled, self-replicating robots, are tools. That requires the re-estimation of life. In the same way. Things like self-replicating molecules can cause a new way to see life. Von Neumann machines are tools that can act like living organisms. They can strike back if something attacks them. And that makes those machines more complicated things than we ever imagined.

The primary question is: does life need some physical form? Or what is the physical form? Computer viruses and artificial intelligence are programs that can make everything more complicated than ever before. The complicated AI algorithms can generate a twin of themselves. The AI that can develop itself and jump between servers is the thing that can make descendants. In the same way, computer viruses can make descendants. 

Is a self-replicating computer program some kind of living organism? That thing is a group or series of electromagnetic impulses. Stored in the computer's mass memory. That thing is like a living organism, but the problem is that it has no physical form as we know it. Another thing is this: is an artificial cell a living organism? Researchers made that cell in a laboratory. The thing is that the cell eats nutrients from its environment. But that artificial cell can't decay. 

So, even if something can drink orange juice, it will not necessarily create descendants. And another thing is that. Every biological creature doesn't think. But otherwise, the primitive creature can make many complicated things if they are programmed into its DNA. The intelligence doesn't make a creature living or not living. Biorobots or artificial cells are things. That causes a need to re-estimate the line between living organisms and robots. 

AI and cartels.

   AI and cartels. 

Increasingly, more actions are being outsourced to AI. The stock market is a vast arena where individuals can utilize more or less sophisticated algorithms. The algorithm can see things. Like, changes in courses, like raising the value faster than a human. Then the AI-trainer must have the point where to sell and where to buy. The system must follow the small losses of the values and then decide to buy or sell. 

The AI must buy cheap shares and sell them when their value is high enough. The AI can follow more targets than a human. And it can see how the share values advance. If those shares are losing their value fast. And a person doesn't watch that curve, which causes losses. The AI will never get boring. And it ever sleeps. The case of the investor finds something else interesting: the screen on the table can cost millions in seconds. 

The AI can be a tool that solves those problems. But algorithms can exchange information illegally. The cartel means a situation in which a person uses an inner circle or non-public information to make profits from the stock market. 

And one version of cartels is a case. When traders make a contract to drive investments to certain targets. When somebody buys shares. That raises their values. So the group just dumps money into some target. The AI can also accidentally ask for advice from another AI. 

There can be a leading algorithm. That leader algorithm makes investments, and then other algorithms follow that thing. The fact is that,  even if some algorithms or AI chatbots look different, they can operate on the same platform. The AI chatbots can be the same, even if they seem different. And that thing means the AI can start to drive investments to certain objects. One AI-based solution can operate millions of investors' investments. 

This kind of AI can theoretically aim for even billions of dollars to the same target. And that thing makes it possible to raise the value of the shares. The AI is the tool that can react faster than humans. Criminals can create the AI-based investment cartels using quite simple algorithms. The AI that can control millions of objects in the bors can guarantee that a person cannot lose money in that game. The AI can invest small sums of money in a large group of targets. The system can buy and sell shares far faster than a human. So the person will always get profits.

The new humanoid robots can be more dangerous than anyone thought.

  The new humanoid robots can be more dangerous than anyone thought.

The new robots serve customers. And they can act as the most advanced sex-dolls that we ever imagined. The AI-controlled robots can operate independently. And the problem is that those robots are from China. The Chinese government is one of the most authoritarian governments in the world. So those leaders should realize the value of those human-shaped robots for surveillance, spying, and assassination tools. The robot "James" or robot adjutant that follows some general can transmit every single thing that the general says to the control center. The thing that makes those robots problematic is that those systems have no limits on how they handle their missions.

They have no conscience as we do. And that means those robots can be even more traitorous than some fateful lady is in gangster movies. There are movies. There, people are replaced by robots. And those Chinese robots are one step closer to that way. In the wrong hands, those robots are a bad daydream. The butler robot can also act in all other roles where humans can. Those butler robots can also act as surgeons, if their command algorithms are changed. That robot can make it possible to live in remote places. If some humans require help, those robots can acquire surgeons' skills just by asking the program.

But in the same way, those robots can act as eliminators if the person they serve does something that is not allowed. The robot can make everything that humans can. The same robot can clean house, fix cars, or even act as a surgeon or commando if the programming of those systems is changed. The skills of robots depend on their programming.

And that is one challenge to data security. If an unauthorized person changes the algorithm, that can have horrible results. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are interested in the AI-controlled robots that they can use in covert operations. Those robots will not change their side. And they follow orders all the time. The computer program or algorithm includes orders that the robot must follow.

The computer program, or the algorithms, differ from humans in that the computer program is the ultimate authority for computers. Computers and robots never resist their programming. They excuse their orders only because that ability is programmed into them. But if a robot does not have the ability to resist, it will do everything that its master orders.

For working perfectly, those robots require lots of calculation capacity. They can make contact with other robots, like robot cars. And those systems can share their data processing ability if they cannot participate in the robot's operation otherwise. The system can also communicate with data centers. In that case, the robot is only a relay station. That is the interface between humans and the data center base, central computers.
