Pentagon hopes for 'force multiplier' in race for new tech with China
Fox News
The Pentagon is accelerating its timeline for the "Replicator" program, hoping to field thousands of AI-enabled autonomous vehicles by 2026.
While the report notes few details, including how the program will be funded and how fast the Pentagon will truly be able to accelerate the development of the new vehicles, the program represents an ongoing shift in how the U.S. views the future of warfare, especially as China continues to forge ahead with AI programs of its own.
Phil Siegel, the founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation (CAPTRS), believes the rapid push toward AI weapons is similar to that of a nuclear arms race.
