AI in warfare is no longer hypothetical; it's inevitable, says Palmer Luckey, an inventor and founder of the defense technology company Anduril Industries. He takes us inside the high-tech arms race to build AI-powered weapons, "killer robots" and autonomous fighter jets at scale — and makes the counterintuitive case for why this may be the surest path to deterrence and lasting peace.

The AI arsenal that could stop World War III

Military dominance now hinges on speed, scale, and smarter technology, not just firepower. With over 90 percent of advanced chips produced in Taiwan, a conflict there could trigger an economic catastrophe and reshape world order. Autonomous systems, powered by AI, offer a new model for deterrence by overwhelming adversaries with rapid, adaptive responses. Building these systems at commercial speed and scale is crucial to preserving peace and freedom.
