AI Isn't the Future of Warfare—Decision Advantage Is

Artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of algorithms, but Project Maven by Katrina Manson reveals a deeper truth: competitive advantage comes from how organizations integrate AI into real-world decisions. Through the story of a pioneering U.S. military initiative, the book explores leadership, innovation, bureaucracy, ethics, and the race to modernize national security. Its greatest lesson extends beyond defense—technology alone does not create transformation.

Vision, organizational culture, and responsible leadership determine whether AI becomes a strategic asset or a missed opportunity. A compelling read for leaders navigating the future of business, technology, and global competition.

Another Incorrect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This time featuring Sharp and (long overdue) Prism

You know, it’s funny. When I first saw that quote, I thought ‘heh, this is amusing but will Google even still be a thing in the post-net-neutrality future of 2074?’

But now I found out about Project Maven and Google planning to sell its AI to the military to ID people and things from drone footage... So hey, I guess Google has a place in a dystopian militaristic corporate-ruled future after all! What a go-getter.

What to read this week: Katrina Manson's terrifying Project Maven

It is scarily fascinating to read about the US military's journey into AI warfare in this deeply-researched book. But what happens next, ask

Excerpt:

“Humans in war are inefficient, get tired, make mistakes. The fog of war could be cleared by AI, believed the usually secretive Project Maven builders who spoke to Manson. But they intended it to go much further: choose targets, hunt them and then kill them. Without slow, deliberate human decision-making, killer robots could overwhelm enemies, fast.

“‘We kill the wrong people all the time. A machine can’t be worse than a human,’ one insider says. The team developed Maven into a host of tools and tried to convince people on the front line to adopt them. Results improved, but mistakes still happened.

“Since then, the US and other NATO members have rolled out Maven in conflicts. Some 32 companies are working on it, writes Manson, and 25,000 US military users log in regularly. But she also tells of it being used at border crossings and in hunting drug runners in the Caribbean. Can a state with such tools resist using them on its citizens?

“Most worryingly, work is under way to cut humans out of the loop entirely, says Manson. So-called Goalkeeper flying drones and Whiplash naval drones can find their own targets and take them out. And humans have never invented a weapon and not used it.”
