How the Pentagon is Adapting to China’s Technological Rise
In this conversation with MIT Technology Review, Kathleen Hicks, the former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, reflects on how the Pentagon is seeking to adapt to a new era of geopolitical competition. She discusses China’s technological rise, the future of AI in warfare, and her signature initiative,
Replicator, a Pentagon initiative rapidly to field thousands of low-cost autonomous systems including drones. She notes that the future of warfare will be about speed and the precision-decision advantage. AI helps enable that by integrating capabilities to create faster, more accurate decision-making to achieve military objectives, reduce civilian casualties, and provide effective deterrence.
