AI can be a force multiplier for doctors. The catch is it needs to be doctor led. It’s quite trivial for a doctor to dismiss the obvious hallucinations. If it also points them towards more subtle signs they would potentially miss, then that’s a net win.

Visual tracking as an initial targeting, or as a fallback, will be quite common. A manpad needs to know what it’s trying to track first. If you can delay acquisition by even a few seconds it will make a difference.

It would also be quite embarrassing if it got shot down because, while flares and countermeasures worked, it just flew towards the big shiny gold thing in the sky.

At this point, unfortunately yes. Even if it’s only to stop dog whistling being hidden behind “it was only a joke” or “it was obviously sarcastic”.

It also helps non native English speakers.
