Autopsy #10 JD Vance on the use of AI in the military

In this week's Autopsy, we react to JD Vance's commencement address to the graduating class of the US Air Force Academy.

The substance of the speech is troubling. Vance's central message on AI and warfare is essentially: trust us, we have it covered, humans will stay in charge. What that actually means in practice is a single person approving strike after strike without the ability to verify the intelligence behind any of them, because if a human could verify it, AI would not be needed in the first place.
