Chinese coastguard has 0.3% chance of using weapons in disputed waters, war game suggests

A study conducted by Chinese coastguard researchers using a computer simulation suggests that under current rules, the Chinese coastguard would use lethal force in disputed waters only 0.3% of the time during maritime encounters. The research highlights the tension involved in such scenarios, where quick decisions could lead to escalation. To reduce the risk of conflict further, the researchers developed an AI system designed to assess the intentions of other vessels in real-time, allowing for more nuanced responses rather than binary classifications of 'hostile' or 'harmless'. The goal is to minimize the chances of violence in sensitive areas.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a technical analysis of a military simulation and an AI development aimed at reducing conflict in disputed waters. It does not take a clear ideological stance, nor does it favor one side over another in the geopolitical tensions surrounding maritime disputes. The focus is on the
