Summary

Story summary

China’s coastguard tested an AI framework in simulated maritime encounters to limit lethal weapon use.
The rule-based system fired lethal weapons in only 0.3 % of simulated encounters.
Researchers designed the AI to read vessel intentions and calculate multiple probability scenarios.
The AI adjusts coastguard responses based on the calculated intention probabilities.
Researchers aim to reduce lethal-weapon risk to zero in disputed waters.
