    Is the US preparing for a war with China? Cuz it certainly sounds like it.

    Quote from the article:

    The Pentagon is working toward deploying swarms of thousands of AI-enabled drones, according to a notice published earlier this year.

    In a speech in August, US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, said technology like AI-controlled drone swarms would enable the US to offset China’s People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) numerical advantage in weapons and people.

    “We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, reported Reuters.
