Artificial intelligence is changing the way wars are fought — and the transformation may only just be beginning.
From AI-assisted targeting and autonomous drones to intelligence analysis and battlefield decision-making, machines are taking on roles that once depended entirely on humans.
But where does this lead? Could autonomous weapons eventually decide for themselves who or what to attack? What happens when AI fights AI? Will future armies need fewer soldiers? And is Britain moving quickly enough to keep pace with its potential adversaries?
In this episode of The Security Podcast, Sean Rayment is joined by Harry Fullerton, defence consultant and strategist and former commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Regiment, to explore how AI is transforming modern warfare, what Ukraine is teaching the world’s militaries, and what the battlefield of the future could look like.
When Machines Go to War asks one of the most important questions facing modern defence: are humans about to lose their monopoly on making decisions in war?
