These new militarized AI machines will be designed to be “small, smart, and cheap,” deputy defense secretary Katherine Hicks said during a defense conference on September. This new AI armada is expected to deploy in three years, she said, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Imagine distributed pods of self-propelled [autonomous] systems afloat, powered by the sun and other virtually limitless resources, packed with sensors…enough to give us new, reliable sources of information in near-real time.
Marine general Karsten Heckl, deputy commandant for procurement, told The Wall Street Journal in statement, that the U.S. is behind the 8-ball compared to other nations such as China, which has been introducing and retrofitting their military weaponry with AI-powered functionality.
Industry is well ahead of us. We’re trying to catch up.
Heckl said

The Pentagon is also debating ground-based systems that offers logistics and armed, airborne drones that could autonomously make their own targeting decisions; which would require clearance by living operators before firing. They devices would also be programmed to recognize and defend against incoming missile strikes.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Ecclesiastes 9:18
Tell that to the U.S. military and others abroad, who would have us killed and spill blood in exchange for a shiny coin. Again, as always it seems, the pinnacle of “evolution” and innovation revolves being able to more effectively kill each other in some new facet.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
