The Pentagon has increased its drone pool from $1,000 to $500,000 in an attempt to catch up with preparations for war with the massive use of drones. US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Research Emil Michael admitted that the agency is not ready for modern warfare. Now it accelerates the procurement of autonomous systems. The aircraft's stores grew 500 times, a scale that reflects the correction of military needs. However, the mass purchase of equipment and the willingness to use it in battle are different tasks. The Pentagon will have to build new systems for the existing military structure. At the same time, regarding artificial intelligence, the department stuck to a tougher line. AI key model Anthropic was included in Pentagon programs after the company was recognized as a threat to national security. The US simultaneously accepts the procurement of autonomous vehicles and limits the range of technology suppliers on which their use may depend. ECONOMICS.
