Nowadays, AI is almost embedded in everything that happens in warfare or defense. What used to be imagined as the battlefield of the future has already arrived. As the world cheers the technological leap AI is bringing to warfare, new risks and dilemmas are quietly closing in.

Indeed, AI is transforming the battlefield at unprecedented speed, determining life and death in an instant. But do the major players with the most advanced AI technologies now hold the power to decide the survival or destruction of other countries? Will AI be allowed to take human lives without human approval?

Key takeaways from this episode:
·When AI enters war, the battlefield stops being a place. It becomes a system. Decisions are accelerated, targeting is automated, and human lives become variables in an algorithm.
·The military use of AI may well be the "Oppenheimer moment" of our time. History offers lessons that we cannot afford to ignore.
·Even with different political and cultural systems, countries can and must cooperate on AI. Because what people everywhere truly want is the same: a future for themselves and for their children.
