| Summary: | This nonfiction work examines the development and deployment of artificial intelligence within the U.S. military through the Department of Defense's Project Maven initiative. Beginning in 2017, the program sought to integrate AI-powered systems into battlefield operations, particularly for identifying and tracking targets. Based on interviews with participants and critics, the narrative explores institutional, ethical, and technical challenges involved in adopting emerging technologies for warfare, as well as tensions between military agencies and private technology companies. The book situates AI-enabled warfare within broader discussions of defense policy, innovation, and future military capabilities. |
