Over the next 20-30 years, kids are going to watch old tech movies and ask why they are called "science-fiction" when most of the tech is real and functional, they will not be able to grasp that just a few decades back, none of those things existed in any functional state.
The age is AI is upon us and we are seeing that today, dominated in military solutions.
People say a lot of things about artificial intelligence, sometimes these are concerns for safe-use and other times, just baseless hate, but AI has a great deal of upsides, like every other tech-solutions we've ever had.
Many believe that this time is different, sometimes when I think of certain intersections like "blockchain × AI" — the phrase "this is different" becomes funnier as that has commonly been used in discussions about the decentralized digital assets markets.
This time isn't that different. As much as AI, like past technologies, will bring with it some negatives, it's positives will outweigh that, in the same way as past tech turned out.
While we talk a lot about things like jobs loss and oppressions, AI can solve things like war.
"The ambition that is a bit scary is that AI is so smart that it can prevent war or just fight and win it," Georgetown University AI researcher Emelia Probasco told WIRED."
Thinking about this, it's a huge positive to what we have to deal with today. As I type this, there are numerous conflicts across the globe taking human precious lives, especially the innocent ones, if there's a chance we can build a technology that can prevent that altogether, it's worth even the last billion dollar on earth.
As reports have it, AI is actively being integrated into the military and the results show that a future secured by advanced machines is very likely.
Defense contractor Anduril is testing something straight out of science fiction - military drones controlled by large language models similar to ChatGPT. At a classified Texas military base, the company demonstrated autonomous fighter jets that can receive voice commands, coordinate attacks, and eliminate targets with minimal human oversight. This marks a dramatic shift in how AI is being weaponized for modern warfare.
The scene unfolding at a secret military base 50 miles from the Mexican border reads like a techno-thriller, but it's very real. Anduril, the defense contractor founded by Palmer Luckey, just proved that large language models can control swarms of killer drones with chilling efficiency.
During a classified demonstration, four prototype fighter jets codenamed "Mustang" appeared on the horizon over the Texas desert. When a simulated Chinese J-20 stealth fighter appeared on radar screens, a simple voice command - "Mustang intercept" - set everything in motion. An AI model similar to the one powering ChatGPT parsed the order, coordinated with the drones, and responded in a calm female voice: "Mustang collapsing." Within minutes, the autonomous aircraft had converged on their target and destroyed it with virtual missiles.

We are moving into an age where unmanned machines with advanced capabilities secure humans and everything they've built against themselves.
We can expect more funding to goes towards perfecting the technology, as much as perfection goes in achieving a balance between risks and rewards. Already, Pentagon's AI spending had jumped 1,200% from 2022-2023, with Trump's 2026 budget allocating $13.4 billion for AI in defense budget, according to the report.
While many believe AI will never reach a point of significant usefulness with minimal human oversight, companies like Anduril is already demonstrating their effectiveness.
The next wave of military toys will be AI-powered, every piece of it will be armed with AI advanced tech.
