The US Army is developing a strategy to address the emerging threat of AI-powered biowarfare, as outlined in a recent report. The plan, with a target date of 2035, aims to ensure the military’s ability to operate effectively in a biological warfare scenario. This initiative underscores the growing concern over the potential use of advanced technologies in biological warfare, which could have devastating consequences.
The strategy’s primary goal is to enable the Army to “deploy, fight, and win decisively” in such an environment, indicating a proactive approach to this emerging threat. This development is particularly relevant in the context of War Is Still A Racket, which explores the evolving nature of warfare and its implications for military strategy and civilian oversight. As the book highlights, the rapid advancement of technology introduces new challenges and potential risks that require proactive measures and increased accountability in military planning and budgeting.
