       | US military has been using AI for quite some time for ISR -
       | scanning satellite data and detecting targets of interest,

       | What will be new AI development - is "self-driving" anti-
       | personnel/anti-materiel drones.
       | 
       | Current capabilities are already pretty close to "self-driving" -
       | for example HARM missiles that home in on AA radar.
       | 
       | and the next frontier will be autonomous robots conducting combat
       | missions automatically
       | 
       | the sole reason why US protects Taiwan for its microchips is
       | because they can be used in military AI. Not because iPhones or
       | smart fridges will lose microchip supplier.
       | 
       | At scale these chips will pave the way for autonomous smart
       | combat platforms in any domain.
