The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in both the United States and the People’s Republic of China is having a critical impact on the shape of future warfare. Shifting away from the traditional battlefield, technological advances redirect targeting focus from tanks and aircraft toward critical nodes across entire societal frameworks.
