War Will Never Be the Same
Ravi sits down with legendary war correspondent Dexter Filkins for a closer look into how drones and AI are transforming modern warfare. They explore Dexter’s recent piece in The New Yorker, Is the U.S. Ready for the Next War?, and his on-the-ground reporting in Ukraine, where $500 kamikaze drones are inflicting massive damage on Russian forces and gamified drone warfare is reshaping combat strategy.
The conversation then turns to the implications for U.S. military readiness, China’s dominance in the defense supply chain, and the rise of autonomous weaponry. Finally, they examine Israel’s use of AI in Gaza and what it reveals about the moral cost of algorithmic war.
