Instead, they suggest that humans will need to be involved for the \u0026ldquo;data, judgment, and action\u0026rdquo; aspects of decision making, even if AI takes over prediction.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;An AI may be able to predict whether rain is likely by drawing on data about previous weather, but a human must decide whether the risk of getting wet merits the hassle of carrying an umbrella,\u0026rdquo; they explain.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThey also argue that AI is more likely to succeed in a commercial setting than a military one. They use the Russian invasion of Ukraine to show that human-developed strategies are still the most accurate measure of success when it comes to warfare, not AI capabilities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;The questions that matter most about the causes, conduct, and conclusion of the war in Ukraine (or any war) are not really about prediction at all,\u0026rdquo; they write. \u0026ldquo;Questions about the strategic aims, political resolve, and risk tolerances of leaders like Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Joseph Biden turn on judgments of values, goals, and priorities.
