This book describes the ever-increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in warfare. Specifically, we will examine autonomous weapons, which will dominate over half of the twenty-first-century battlefield. Next, we will examine genius weapons, which will dominate the latter portion of the twenty-first-century battlefield. In both cases, we will discuss the ethical dilemmas these weapons pose and their potential threat to humanity. Going beyond the bomb-carrying drones used in the Afghan war, the Pentagon is now in a race with China and Russia to develop "lethal autonomous weapon systems" (LAWS). In this eye-opening overview, a physicist, technology expert, and former Honeywell executive examines the advantages and the potential threats to humanity resulting from the deployment of completely autonomous weapon systems.

What is artificial intelligence? How is artificial intelligence going to change our lives? “Alexa, play my favorite song! Alexa, shut the garage door!” Imagine a world in which you simply call out a request while sitting in your living room and have a small computer comply. Suddenly, the driving beat of your favorite song fills the air while in the distance you hear the grind of the garage door coming down. This scenario is no longer science fiction! Our world is becoming increasingly inhabited by machines that can talk to us, listen to us, perform as asked, and even solve problems with no direction from humans. A machine with artificial intelligence is one that can perceive its environment and change its computing and behavior to reflect that environment, while using tools at hand to solve problems or reach goals.

Seizing the Enigma tells the thrilling story of the Royal Navy's battle to crack the Germans' supposedly unbreakable U-boat Enigma code, which would allow the vital Allied convoys in the North Atlantic to be routed away from Donitz's wolfpacks. This battle was fought both on shore and at sea: by an assortment of scientists, chess champions and linguists, including Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer, who struggled to crack Enigma at Bletchley Park, and in the Atlantic by sailors and intelligence officers, such as Ian Fleming, the future creator of James Bond, who undertook dangerous and often fatal missions to seize the essential encryption keys and Enigma machine components from Kriegsmarine surface ships and U-boats. Kahn expertly brings this unparalleled intelligence operation to life in this revised paperback edition of his classic book.

From the earliest days of aviation, pilots have enjoyed a certain amount of glamour because of their apparent willingness to face danger in the skies (military or stunt pilots) or their ability to travel to exotic locales (airline and cargo pilots). During World War I and World War II, radio-controlled aircraft served as aerial torpedoes and aerial targets, roles that evolved into the development of cruise missiles, airborne decoys, and target drones. In the late 1940s and 1950s, drone aircraft were pressed into service for such tasks as flying through clouds of radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions to collect samples without endangering aircrews. In the 1960s, improvements in unmanned vehicle technology spawned development of tactical and strategic reconnaissance platforms. By the dawn of the 21st century, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – i.e., airplanes without pilots on board – were used more and more frequently for a variety of missions.
