As China makes rapid advancements in artificial intelligence for military applications, U.S. leadership appears more preoccupied with smear campaigns and reactive measures than with proactive innovation.
Recent reports indicate that China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) is deploying a groundbreaking AI system known as DeepSeek, which has outperformed traditional military planning capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
While Western media sensationalizes hypothetical risks associated with Chinese technology, it is clear that China is taking significant strides in revolutionizing warfare.
DeepSeek's efficiency allows for deployment in smaller military platforms, including drones and autonomous vehicles, which could provide the PLA with unprecedented strategic advantages.
This technological leap is not just about the systems themselves; it reflects a fundamental shift in military doctrine.
China is taking significant strides in revolutionizing warfare.
