I fear we are about to enter a decade of low level warfare driven by the use of drones and AI.

"The Rise of A.I. Fighter Pilots - Artificial intelligence is being taught to fly warplanes. Can the technology be trusted?"

The downside of this is really scary though. If you haven't watched the video "Slaughterbots" you should, especially as a writer.
