Musk warns AI and drones will dominate future wars. Here’s why it matters

Tech billionaire Elon Musk believes the future of warfare will be dominated by artificial intelligence and drones. In a newly released video of his talk last summer at the US Military Academy in West Point, New York, Musk shared his insights on how modern conflicts are evolving.

“The current war in Ukraine is very much a drone war already,” said Musk, 53, who leads Tesla Inc and the social network X. “If there’s a major power war, it’s very much going to be a drone war.”
