Hegseth's AI-Driven Military Criticized for Lacking Oversight

Original: Pete Hegseth's Military of the Future: Defined by AI and Utter Lack of Oversight

Pete Hegseth is pushing the US military toward widespread adoption of AI, drones and autonomous weapons, a strategy critics say is defined by a lack of oversight. Reporting by The Intercept argues the defense build-out prioritizes speed and automation over accountability, raising concerns about who controls decisions to use lethal force and whether legal and ethical safeguards can keep pace with the technology.

Why now: Growing public and expert debate over the ethics and accountability of AI and autonomous weapons in US defense policy.
