The evolution of weaponry has followed a predictable path throughout human history—each innovation designed to extend the warrior's reach while increasing safety from counterattack. From spears to bows to firearms to aircraft, the distance between combatant and target has consistently expanded. Yet one constant remained: human judgment has always sat at the center of targeting decisions. That fundamental principle is now being challenged by the emergence of agentic artificial intelligence systems capable of identifying, selecting, and engaging targets without direct human intervention. These autonomous weapons represent not just a technological advancement but a paradigm shift in how we conceptualize warfare and security.
