Winning wars 25 years from now will hinge on achieving an edge in artificial intelligence and the ability to make certain decisions at inhuman speeds. The US Air Force's top civilian official emphasized the need for transformations to ensure they can respond quickly and effectively.
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall stated that future warfare will be 'highly automated, highly autonomous, action at long range, precision,' highlighting the critical role of AI in decision-making processes that exceed human speed.
With the advent of new technologies like sensor technology and machine learning, complex kill chains can be executed on much shorter timelines, necessitating a transformative approach toward AI in the Air Force.
A December 2024 report suggests that conflicts involving cyber warfare and electronic warfare will be dominated by AI technologies, with decisions made at speeds beyond human capability, hinting at the need for increased autonomy in military operations.
