AI in the Military: Hegseth: Musk Should Co-Research "Future of Warfare"
Autonomous weapons that can act independently are highly controversial. For the Pentagon, tech billionaire Elon Musk is now researching the future of warfare, whose companies develop AI and robots.
US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has announced a research project led by Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to explore the future of warfare, including autonomous weapons. The project aims to identify areas the US military needs to dominate and develop necessary capabilities, with results expected within 120 days. Hegseth also announced the creation of a new four-star command to expand autonomous and robot-based capabilities in the US military.
Additionally, he outlined plans to make major military installations self-sufficient in energy production to mitigate the impact of potential cyberattacks or sabotage on the civilian power grid.
