Hardcover. Beast in the Machine is an incredible resource for raising public awareness and education around this revolution in warfare. Booklist A defense technology expert and military leader reveals the future of robotic warfare, and illuminates the path to navigate the approaching storm of global change. The world is plunging into a new era of warfare dominated by robotic systems and artificial intelligence. As drone warfare and autonomous weapons fill the headlines, militaries, governments, and concerned citizens are asking urgent questions about the future of conflict. Author George M. Dougherty provides much-needed answers from a unique perspective as a senior military leader of US Air Force science and technology and a strategic business consultant to companies facing disruptive change in their industries. Beast in the Machine offers a fascinating exploration of the future of combat. It takes the reader on a whirlwind journey through previously secret robotic warfare history from the World Wars to the War on Terror, and to todays lethal battlefields in Ukraine and beyond. With gripping combat examples and easy-to-understand explanations of emerging technologies, Dougherty reveals the trends driving change and helps us to anticipate and prepare for what comes next. Informed by insider expertise as well as a humane moral perspective, Dougherty tackles this controversial subject head-on. In these pages, readers will learn: How the robotic military revolution is disrupting the balance of power, undermining US security and making all of us targetsWhy todays drones and autonomous weapons are only the start of the revolutionand what comes nextWhy familiar military platforms like tanks, ships, and airplanes will be replaced by robotic systems that may look radically differentHow self-organizing drone swarms in the atmospheric littoral may become a dominant force on the future battlefieldWhat steps can ensure the ethical use of autonomous weapons and AIWhich threats from military AI are more dangerous than artificial superintelligence, and how to avert them The US and other global democracies must navigate this disruptive era wisely, or risk becoming its victims. Beast in the Machine is a timely invitation for all of us to join the conversation on the future of human armed struggle . . . while theres still time to shape whats coming.
