Many species have group behaviors without “leaders”. This “anti-authoritarian” behavior has for years attracted the attention of developers in the fields of artificial intelligence and “machine learning”. And their efforts have already paid off; useful (you guessed it?) to the armies. Developments with flying drones are well known, and anyone interested in video demonstration (and not only) of swarm drones can easily find it. The latest development was the construction of a herd of robotic fish by Harvard techno-scientists. What is the advantage of this feat? The fact that systems such as GPS and WiFi (used by flying swarms of drones) do not work under the sea surface. Therefore even better artificial intelligence is needed.
We once said that the self-organization of the workers would become the grave of the bosses… Now self-organization has passed into the machines – and we do not know what to say…
