Vice President JD Vance cautioned U.S. Air Force Academy graduates to not allow artificial intelligence to take over their autonomy in warfare decision making.At the academy’s Thursday graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Vance urged cadets to dictate their own decisions and not “submit” to AI as the technology continues to change warfare.“As AI transforms the battlefield in some ways positively, in some ways not, I ask that you be jealous and selfish about your role as the decision maker in warfare,” Vance said in a commencement address.“You are the masters of warfare. And both your minds, but also your…

Modern operations increasingly depend on unmanned systems, distributed sensors, artificial intelligence-enabled analytics and space-based communications. But those capabilities are only as effective as the networks carrying their data. In a contested environment, the real challenge is not simply gaining connectivity — it is sustaining trusted, prioritized and…

One of the most effective counter-drone systems in the largest drone war in history between Ukraine and Russia is a German anti-aircraft gun designed during the Cold War. The Gepard — a self-propelled 35 mm cannon that first entered service in 1976 — has earned recognition from Ukrainian military experts as the most effective weapon against Shahed-type drones, at a cost of a few thousand dollars per engagement. Meanwhile, one of the more novel counter-drone technologies amounts to a sharpened prong mounted on another drone that lances its target mid-flight — a 12th-century solution to a 21st-century problem.Then there is…

Arman Tsarukyan doesn’t appear to be placing much importance on his backup role for the UFC White House main event. UFC CEO Dana White recently named Tsarukyan the official backup fighter for the lightweight title unification clash between reigning champion Ilia Topuria and interim titleholder Justin Gaethje. The highly anticipated matchup is scheduled to headline UFC Freedom 250, which will take place on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 14.

Thousands of educated workers leave their home countries every day for more developed and stable economies. In turn, these emigrants deplete their homelands of resources—their talent and intellect, as well as their purchasing power and ingenuity. This phenomenon is known as “brain drain.” But there’s another pattern beneath these well-studied dynamics.Although much attention has been paid to emigrants’ skillsets, less focus has been devoted to their values. From studying over two decades of migration trends in 149 countries, I discover that many people who choose to depart their countries of origin, whether for economic or educational opportunities abroad, are likely…
