Military experts warn that AI-driven battlefield machines could be ready within two years and the race is already on.
Analysts say China is rapidly advancing autonomous military systems, with defence expert Francis Tusa warning battlefield ready AI driven machines could emerge within the next 2 years.
The shift is driven by heavy investment in robotics, AI decision systems, and large scale military automation programs designed to operate faster than human controlled units.
Experts note the real competition is no longer just about weapons power, but about which nation can deploy and scale autonomous decision making systems first.
This trend raises major global concerns around ethics, escalation risks, and how warfare could change when machines begin making real time combat decisions.
When machines start making combat decisions faster than humans can react — who is really in control?
