This Is How The Military Wants AI To Help Control America’s Nuclear Arsenal
-
The U.S. Air Force and Space Force are actively exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) to enhance decision-making speed, secure communications, and improve logistics. AI could analyze vast amounts of data, predict maintenance needs, and strengthen cybersecurity, though officials emphasize that humans will always be in control of nuclear strike decisions. Military leaders stress that AI will assist but never replace human decision-making, addressing concerns about automation in nuclear operations. As discussions on AI’s role in national security continue, the Pentagon aims to balance technological advancements with strict human oversight. Click here to read more.

Your mind, hacked: the quantum computing nightmare

Experts warn that once privacy is gone, so is free will, as quantum-driven AI could shape political beliefs, consumer choices, and societal narratives without us even realizing it. The race for quantum supremacy is already underway, and whoever gets there first will hold the ultimate power. Click here to read more.
