As we look out onto the battlefields of the wars of tomorrow, will we see humanoid robots and AI-driven autonomous weapons instead of soldiers?

Unfortunately, humanity can’t hang up the fatigues and boots quite yet. While AI can process and distill vast amounts of data, it can’t truly “think” or react independently without huge amounts of power and the most advanced sensors. Even if chips and sensors advanced quickly, there remains mobility, stability, and power supply problems.

And allow me to kick this dead horse once more…the semiconductor supply chain is fragile and will fracture along with deglobalization. If everything went perfectly in developing the hardened, next-gen chips required for military applications, we still wouldn’t see those emerge until the 2030s. And that’s one big ass IF.
