Pierre Vandier, said at a conference focused on military AI. Analysis that previously took hours or days, such as processing large amounts of sensor data, can now be done in a matter of seconds, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe speed of operations will dramatically change,\u201d Vandier said at a press briefing on Monday. \u201cYou see that in Ukraine. If you do not adapt at speed and at scale, you die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The major powers have identified AI as a key enabler for future warfare, with the U.S. spending billions on AI for defense, while trying to limit China\u2019s access to enablers such as hardware from Nvidia. Meanwhile, summit host France says it plans to become the leader in military AI in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI brings \u201ca huge acceleration of the speed of decision,\u201d Vandier said. \u201cA huge acceleration that overtakes a lot of things in our system, and the system of the enemy we intend to outpace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vandier made a comparison to the movie The Matrix, where the main character Neo dodges bullets by having learned to move faster than his opponent\u2019s projectiles. \u201cThe question for us is, are we already dead? So it\u2019s a question of speed of change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/pentagon\/2025\/01\/24\/power-generation-challenges-could-overshadow-stargate-ai-initiative\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Trump_90461.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Power generation challenges could overshadow Stargate AI initiative<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Pentagon officials said the U.S. lacks the energy resources and computing power to support the new infrastructure \u2014 and solving that problem won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speediness of AI raises questions about whether having a human in the control loop improves the quality of decision making, said \u200aJeroen van der Vlugt, chief information officer at the Netherlands Ministry of Defence. He said AI can make decisions based on amounts of data that would be impossible for humans to manage, with analysis brought down to milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A group of 25 countries at the Paris summit signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elysee.fr\/emmanuel-macron\/2025\/02\/11\/paris-declaration-on-maintaining-human-control-in-ai-enabled-weapon-systems\"><u>declaration on AI-enabled weapon systems<\/u><\/a>, pledging they won\u2019t authorize life-and-death decisions by an autonomous weapon system operating completely outside human control. Summit co-chair India didn\u2019t sign the declaration, nor did the U.K. or the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe already have militaries full of intelligent, autonomous agents \u2013 we call them soldiers or airmen or Marines,\u201d said Gregory Allen, the director of the Wadhwani AI Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. \u201cJust as military commanders are accountable, states are also responsible for the actions of their military forces, and nothing about the changing landscape of artificial intelligence is going to ever change those two facts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany\u2019s Helsing and France\u2019s Mistral AI on Monday announced an agreement to jointly develop AI systems for defense. Google owner Alphabet last week dropped a promise not to use AI for purposes such as developing weapons, while rival OpenAI in December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/12\/05\/anduril-openai-join-to-boost-counter-drone-tech-for-us-bases-troops\/\">announced a partnership<\/a> with military technology company Anduril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frontier AI models will be useful in summarizing large intelligence reports and for war gaming and \u201cred teaming,\u201d said Ben Fawcett, product lead at Advai, which tests AI systems for vulnerabilities. \u201cThese kind of models will have a real utility in order to test commanders on how their plan will survive contact, especially if they\u2019re able to update that based on what is the latest situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first AI-based simulation tools are arriving that allow commanders to test and refine plans before putting them into action, according to Vandier. He said AI doesn\u2019t mean fewer human decisions but faster and better ones, at least in theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAI is not a magic bullet,\u201d Vandier said.\u201dIt gives solutions to go faster, better, more accurate, more lethal, but it won\u2019t solve the war itself, because it\u2019s a race between us and our competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vandier and Van der Vlugt mentioned the importance of AI for autonomy and robotics, particularly swarming technology, which relies on AI to work. \u201cThe scalability and autonomy part of it is really changing our landscape at this moment,\u201d Van der Vlugt said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Success of AI depends on adoption, and Vandier has introduced a monthly learning package with required reading for officers at Allied Command Transformation in Norfolk, Virginia, after finding out his top brass didn\u2019t know \u201cthat much\u201d about AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe technology goes so fast that ultimately, we realize that managers are not necessarily up to speed,\u201d Vandier said. \u201cSo there is really a training challenge. If you want a head of capacity development, someone who defines the capacities of tomorrow, to be good, they need to have understood what is at stake with these technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large language models over the past decade have been getting roughly 13 times better every year, and that trend is not expected to stop, meaning models might be more than 1,000 times better in three years and more than 1 million times better in 10 years, according to Allen at CSIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we aren\u2019t seeing right now is large language models generating unique insights that would be relevant to say, planning a campaign of war, fighting operations,\u201d Allen said. \u201cJust because they are very far away from that level of performance today doesn\u2019t mean that they are very far away in terms of time, because performance is improving so rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Large language models will be transformative for national security capabilities, which helps explain why the U.S. stopped selling AI chips to China, according to Allen. \u201cWe see in the not too distant future, genuinely transformative AI capabilities, and it\u2019s important that that is a party that China is not invited to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked at the press briefing whether machines will take control, Vandier said he didn\u2019t know. He mentioned the 1983 movie WarGames, in which a computer decides to trigger nuclear war, and the Terminator series of movies, whose premise includes an AI launching a nuclear attack against humanity, saying \u201cit could happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NATO commander said while fears around AI are understandable, citizens already have the technology in their pockets with smart phones. He said new technology is not inherently good or bad, what matters is the use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat people want when they fight is not to be all destroyed, they want to win,\u201d Vandier said. \u201cAs it has been for nuclear arms, one day we will have to find ways to control the AI, or we will lose control of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a Paris summit on artificial intelligence, defense officials from around the world ponder what&#8217;s in store for artificial
