Opinion | What War by A.I. Actually Looks Like
  + stars: | 2024-04-10 | by ( David Wallace-Wells | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
apocalypse — visions that sometimes featured autonomous weapons systems going rogue — you might have expected an enormous and alarmed response. Instead, the report that a war was being conducted partly by A.I. Perhaps that was partly because — to an unnerving degree — experts accept that forms of A.I. are already in widespread use among the world’s leading militaries, including in the United States, where the Pentagon has been developing A.I.

Both the United States and China view themselves in exceptional terms, Allison explains, as nations of destiny. “China will be a falling power far sooner than most people think,” Brands and Beckley declare.

Elliot Ackerman, whose new novel “Halcyon” is his eighth book in as many years, admits that many of his friends from his Marine Corps days are surprised by his second act as a bestselling novelist: “They say, ‘It’s so odd. Why not become a security consultant?’” But then, friends who knew him as a teenage “skater rat” were similarly shocked when he became a Marine, serving five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and earning the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor and the Purple Heart.
