Mechanical Emotions in the Armed Forces and Autonomous Systems

Abstract

With the rise of artificial intelligence, there is a growing demand for machines that are able to operate ‘more humanly’ than they do today. For these, machine sensing and imitation of emotions is essential. Below, we first show the extent to which a machine can handle emotions, as well as the development of the area and its multiple uses for different armed forces. Finally, we narrow the broader review to machine autonomy, where we prove our hypotheses that the application of artificial emotions would allow the development of a moral sense of machines as well as increase the efficiency of autonomous systems.
