The soldier pulling the trigger is no longer always human.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eProject Maven and the Rise of AI Warfare, \u003c\/i\u003eauthor Sylas Verin delivers a landmark investigation into one of the most consequential and least understood revolutions in modern military history. From the classified corridors of the Pentagon to the engineering campuses of Silicon Valley, this book traces how artificial intelligence moved from a commercial technology experiment into the operational heart of the world's most powerful military machine.\u003cbr\u003eAt the center of this story is Project Maven, the United States Department of Defense program that ignited a global reckoning about the role of algorithms in warfare, triggering employee revolts at major technology companies, accelerating an international arms race, and raising urgent questions about accountability, civilian harm, and the future of human judgment in combat.\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the full scope of that revolution with unflinching clarity. Readers will explore how drone surveillance networks evolved from remote-controlled aircraft into thinking autonomous systems, how algorithmic targeting is compressing the time between detection and lethal strike, why training data bias produces deadly operational errors, and how the global competition for military AI dominance is destabilizing international security in ways that existing governance frameworks cannot contain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProject Maven and the Rise of AI Warfare\u003c\/i\u003e confronts the precision myth, the accountability vacuum, the ethics washing concealing continued weapons development, and the urgent absence of binding international law capable of governing autonomous weapons before their consequences become irreversible.\u003cbr\u003eWritten for policy professionals, defense analysts, technology ethicists, and informed general readers, this is the essential guide to understanding the defining military transformation of the twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReaders of this book will discover: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Project Maven reshaped the relationship between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy autonomous targeting systems create accountability gaps existing law cannot close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow civilian populations bear the hidden costs of algorithmic warfare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat meaningful governance of military AI would actually require\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe machines are deciding.
