Mainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts—computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization. 

These theories cast the living organism as a machine and the brain as a computer. 

The fact that cognition is a biological phenomenon seems merely anecdotal; biology is considered just “implementation.” 

In “The Brain, In Theory,” Romain Brette argues that the brain is not a “biological computer” because living organisms are not engineered.

Is AI about to automate war? Will autonomous drone swarms and killer robots controlled by AI dominate the battlespace and determine the winner? In “AI, Automation, and War,” Anthony King debunks this science fiction–tinged narrative of AI’s military potential, exploring instead the actual applications of AI by the armed forces over the last decade.

He finds that AI is not going to replace human commanders and combatants; the machines are not about to take over. Rather, the military has used, and will continue to use, AI to process data at a scale and speed that exceeds the capacity of humans. AI will be used primarily to improve military understanding and intelligence.

King explains that military commanders, enabled by the data processing power of AI, will be able to see the battlespace at a previously unattainable depth, fidelity, and speed.

AI will help the armed forces plan, target, and conduct cyber operations faster and more effectively.
