AI, Automation, and War

Why AI will not replace human strategic judgement in war Is AI about to automate war? Will autonomous drone swarms and killer robots controlled by AI dominate the battlespace and determine the winner? In AI, Automation, and War, Anthony King debunks this science fiction–tinged narrative of AI’s military potential, exploring instead the actual applications of AI by the armed forces over the last decade. He finds that AI is not going to replace human commanders and combatants; the machines are not about to take over. Rather, the military has used, and will continue to use, AI to process data at a scale and speed that exceeds the capacity of humans. AI will be used primarily to improve military understanding and intelligence. King explains that military commanders, enabled by the data processing power of AI, will be able to see the battlespace at a previously unattainable depth, fidelity, and speed. AI will help the armed forces plan, target, and conduct cyber operations faster and more effectively. In order to harness AI in this way, however, a radical organisational transformation is taking place. The armed forces are integrating civilian technologists into operational headquarters to work alongside military staff. This partnership between the armed forces and the technology sector signals the emergence of a military-tech complex that promises to be as powerful in this century as the military-industrial complex was in the last.
The Measure of Progress

"A book which explores how the digital transformation of the economy affects how we measure and interpret the true scale of innovation, productivity, and growth. Statistics are an essential guide for better economic policies. They also involve questions of freedom, justice, life and death, as governments - and increasingly machines - use statistics to make decisions affecting people's lives. This book argues that the conceptual framework underpinning today's economic statistics is out of date, and makes it impossible to measure, understand, and respond to what is really happening in the economy. According to Diane Coyle, we have been interpreting the economy through the lens of a statistical framework developed in the mid-twentieth century, when a lack of goods and services rather than natural resources was the binding constraint on growth, when the intangible value of intellectual property and digital assets were largely unaccounted for, and when the most pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today's challenges are vastly different. Growth in living standards in the rich economies has slowed significantly in recent decades, despite dramatic innovation in digital technologies. The geopolitical as well as the environmental landscape is fraught, and our belief in democracy increasingly strained. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle comprehensively explores how the digital transformation affects how we measure the economy and our capacity to interpret the true scale of innovation, productivity, and growth. Her book also sets out some key principles for improving measurement. A true understanding of the economy, she argues, will require different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions. Only then will policymakers, businesses, and individuals be able to shape a better, sustainable future"--
The Lecturer's Toolkit
With a focus on practical, implementable strategies to enhance learning experiences, the extensively updated sixth edition of The Lecturer’s Toolkit is an essential guide for those new to teaching in Higher Education, as well as a companion to improve the practice of more experienced teachers. Centred around the Race model of learning, which proposes a pragmatic exploration of how students learn, it offers research-informed practical tips and advice, with question prompts to cement knowledge, key tips to enhance best practice, and chapter outcomes to help shape learning. This edition has been fully updated to recognise changing approaches to higher education learning including online and distance learning and consideration of how of AI and Large Language Models are impacting on ways of teaching and assessing students. Covering all of the need-to-know information that is essential to thrive in tertiary teaching environments, this book includes information on: Understanding how students really learn, including online and hybrid learning Ways to increase student motivation and engagement Ways to design assessments that are both authentic and compassionate Pragmatic and positive ways of using feedback to enhance learning Practical advice on large and small group teaching Advice on looking after yourself in stressful working contexts Some thoughts on where higher education is moving next. This accessible toolkit is based on decades of experience of higher education and is written with authority and clarity in a jargon-free style. An invaluable guide, it is a must-read for every higher education professional.
