The Daily Mail (UK) reports that “the US military has revealed its plans for artificial intelligence on the battlefield – but admits enemies are already ahead of it.”

“It hopes AI will power everything from cybersoldiers to the targetting systems of the F-35 – but admits it has to catch up to commercial AI firms.”

“Deputy Defense secretary Robert Work said ‘The commercial world has already made this leap.'”
