The next-generation tank will have stronger preemptive strike capabilities using an artificial intelligence-based fire control system
Well that’s disturbing. I wonder what level of buzz word AI this is? Safe to assume computer vision is involved, target/threat identification… Does “preemptive strike” imply the fire control system is firing by itself? I know it’s not the case but it’s hilarious to imagine it’s ChatGPT doing it.
My heart smiles at the thought of the first crew to actually command this thing in a war zone pulling security on some unknown pile of rubble and being awoken at 0347 by their tank unexpectedly dumping its entire payload on an “enemy” that it hallucinated.
Granted, dumb privates do this too, but it’s funnier to think about the tank doing it all by itself.

This could even be exploited by putting decoys in the landscape the AI recognizes as enemies.
