This timely book is a much-needed
clear presentation for the layman on artificial intelligence
and the need for the nation’s military establishment to
understand AI and its defense applications and to add
its technology to the nation’s sensors, weapons, C4ISR
systems and platforms. The authors, two retired Navy
captains who are prominent analysts of naval affairs,
stress the need to achieve asymmetrical advantage in
AI, particularly in the arms race with China and Russia.
They expand their discussion to include how AI interacts
with other technologies such as autonomous systems,
machine learning and with people, and with potential
effects on warfighting. This book will help readers keep
up with the rapidly accelerating technology of AI.
