The Pentagon is leveraging AI to enhance its military operations, particularly in speeding up the 'kill chain' process, according to Dr. Radha Plumb. While AI tools are not currently used as weapons, they provide significant advantages in threat assessment and response planning. The collaboration between military and AI developers like OpenAI and Anthropic is evolving, as these companies adjust their policies to allow military applications. However, ethical concerns remain, with assurances that human oversight will always be part of decision-making in military operations.
