I’ve been reading about the rapid deployment of AI in military applications lately, and frankly, it’s keeping me up at night. Not in the melodramatic sense, but in that particular way where you’re scrolling through your phone at 2am and suddenly realize we might be sleepwalking into a future we’ll deeply regret.

The thing that really gets me is how we’re having this conversation after the technology has already been deployed. Someone mentioned that we passed the milestone of technology moving faster than regulation “a while ago,” and that’s the crux of it, isn’t it? We’re not having a preventative discussion here – we’re playing catch-up with systems that are already making life and death decisions.
