Here is an interesting article (based on a SCMP article) that shows the potential of AI (LLM, specifically) in ECM:

. I do believe as warfare becomes more and more digitized and AI taking on an ever larger role, on-board sensors and processors will need to be so powerful that the most advanced chips will be (and need to be) found in forward deployed war fighting platforms. Maybe the US was right in denying China from obtain the means to produce those chips as they foresaw this coming. It may come to pass that nations that can produce the most powerful chips and write the most sophisticated software will win the next major conflict. So much so that the Russian SMO against Ukraine will be remembered as the last of one kind of warfare and the beginning of another kind.
AI is bloated beyond its true value and potential. It is getting close to the level of IT bubble decades ago, the other bloating (marketting gimicks) concepts being metaverse, whormhole, time travel, gravity drive. It is a pattern that whenever something new came up, people run their imagination wildly, making fiction out of it, then rarely if any of these expectations materialize. These new things have their improvement and values, but far less than people tout.

Just think of one thing, AWAC is to direct aircraft to kill after it determins an object being enemy, you want to hand that decision to a machine who "think" it "learnt" right and put your pilots, sailors and soldiers life in machine's hand? That date only comes after nuclear fusion is realized IF EVER. In my knowledge in computer, it is misleading to even use the word "intelligence". Or if the word is used, people should consider it a metaphoric usage not literal meaning.

BTW, my computer knowledge includes training and application of AI in my work, I know how today's AI works inside out. It is just repackged programing like rebottled wine.
