One-third of U.S. military could be robotic, Milley predicts

Robots and other smart machinery will comprise up to one-third of the U.S. military in the next 10-15 years, retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at an Axios event today.

Why it matters: Such widespread adoption of unmanned and artificial intelligence-fueled tools of war would be a major reshaping of the force — one that would also raise serious ethical questions.

What they're saying: "It'll be a fundamental change, and I would argue that other nations' militaries are going to be similarly designed," Milley said at Axios' Future of Defense event.

They seem to struggle keeping the machinery and weapons up and running with what they currently have.  Unless they have something their sleeve, the military wouldn't seem capable if one third of the military needed maintainers. :shrug:
