Algorithms of Armageddon: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Future Wars
by
George Galdorisi; Sam J. Tangredi
t is unclear if U.S. policy makers and military leaders fully realize that we have already been thrust into an artificial intelligence (AI) race with authoritarian powers. Today, the United States' peer adversaries—China and Russia—have made clear their intentions to make major investments in AI and insert this technology into their military systems, sensors and weapons. Their goal is to gain an asymmetric advantage over the U.S. military. The implications for our national security are many and complex. Algorithms of Armageddon examines this most pressing security issue in a clear, insightful delivery by two experts. Authors George Galdorisi and Sam J. Tangredi are national security professionals who deal with AI on a day-to-day basis in their work in both the technical and policy arenas.

The New Makers of Modern Strategy: From the Ancient World to the Digital Age
by
John H. Maurer; Michael Cotey Morgan, et. al.
The field of strategic and military history has witnessed an intellectual renaissance in recent decades, as the number of strategic challenges faced by the world has grown enormously. International politics has also changed. The Cold War ended and the Soviet Union disappeared. The United States entered a period of unipolarity, only to see it challenged by the rise of new powers, China in particular. Terrorism, civil wars, so-called "rogue states," insurgency and counter-insurgency, and cybersecurity all joined a growing list of strategic concerns. New technologies promise to upend our understanding of conflict.
