KI und der moderne Krieg

The war in Ukraine sets new standards in military confrontation. Smart weapons, intelligent missile defense systems, portable and infrared-guided anti-tank missiles, satellite information, location detection of soldiers’ cell phones, or drones decide between life or death, victory or defeat. The experienced war reporter and defense expert Jay Tuck writes about his personal experiences in Ukraine and his previous deployments in Iraq, comparing the functionality of various weapons systems and strategies and measuring their effectiveness against the brutal reality of the battlefield. The images we see do not reflect the crucial role of information, disinformation, digital infrastructure, smart weapons systems, technological superiority, and artificial intelligence in determining the outcome of the war. Jay Tuck explains exactly this for us.

Every day, we entrust intelligent programs with more and more responsibilities for urban planning and energy supply, for securing food supply and natural resources. But what happens if we create an intelligent being that is far superior to humans? In pursuing pre-programmed goals, a computer intelligence might see humans as an obstacle—and act accordingly… Today, artificial intelligence makes our lives easier. But in just a few years, it will control large parts of our lives—and have the power to destroy us. Jay Tuck delves into this exciting topic and presents an updated and expanded paperback edition of his bestseller. A wake-up call for everyone who underestimates the dangers of artificial intelligence!

High-Tech Espionage

A French counter-spy penetrates the inner circles of a Soviet espionage ring – and is found dead on a deserted road in the Alps; an eccentric California inventor launches a high-tech enterprise from his garage – and sells one of America’s best-kept secrets to Soviet spies. The theft of NATO technology is their number one priority – more important than political or military espionage – and their stunning success threatens the very foundation of western defense. Hamburg-based American journalist Jay Tuck has traced the cloak-and-dagger tale of computer espionage across the American and European continents, interviewing eye-witnesses, military experts, even some of the smugglers. His authentic account is an East-West thriller that for the first time throws light into the murkey world of microseconds and megadollars where embargo-runners pursue their dark trade.
