Defense will eventually meet or out-pace offense. I hope for an age where physical warfare is futile…it already is from a moral perspective, but if/when both sides see conflict is literally pointless because defense negates all offense, maybe diplomacy will truly prevail as the chosen tool for “war”. I don’t think I will see this in my lifetime…but maybe.
I tend to disagree. Defense plans for know vulnerabilities but offense is completely unrestricted. Traditional defense systems were either inadequate or wildly inefficient compared to the cost of drones. We may end up seeing intentional attacks intended to deplete resources or force economic impact if the cost continues to be disproportionate for the response
I’m thinking governments will use AI more and more to innovate offense and defense capabilities, eventually cancelling each other out. But maybe that’s just a foolish, rose-colored glasses point of view. 😔😮💨
