The Real Limits of AI: Dr. Robert J. Marks on Autonomy, Warfare, and the Future of Machines
Season 3 Episode 117
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — in our phones, our apps, our businesses… and now on the battlefield.
In this powerful episode of The Ryan Files, Ryan Pelton sits down with Dr. Robert J. Marks, one of the leading thinkers in AI theory, to reveal what AI truly is, what it absolutely is not, and why nations are racing to deploy autonomous systems faster than anyone expected.
Dr. Marks breaks down the myths vs. realities of modern AI, including:
⚡ Why AI isn’t conscious — and never will be
⚡ The truth behind so-called “AI hallucinations”
⚡ What large language models actually do under the hood
⚡ How militaries are preparing for drone swarms and ultra-fast threats
⚡ Autonomous weapons already active in real-world conflicts
⚡ The Harpy missile, the OODA loop, and the future of machine-speed warfare
⚡ Why the real danger isn’t AI becoming too smart — but being used anyway
This conversation cuts through the hype, the fear, and the headlines — giving you a grounded, informed look at how AI will shape ethics, war, creativity, and the future of human decision-making.
