The era of AI warfare has arrived
Autonomous systems are moving from labs to live battlefields faster than safety research can keep pace.
Why it matters
AI practitioners and policy makers face a critical gap: the speed of autonomous weapon deployment is outpacing our ability to evaluate safety, reliability, and control. This is no longer theoretical—it's reshaping how governments, militaries, and AI labs think about responsibility and regulation.
