Decisions about war have always been made by humans, but now
intelligent machines are on the cusp of changing things - with
dramatic consequences for international affairs. This book explores
the evolutionary origins of human strategy, and makes a provocative
argument that Artificial Intelligence will radically transform the
nature of war by changing the psychological basis of
decision-making about violence. Strategy, Evolution, and War is a
cautionary preview of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will
revolutionize strategy more than any development in the last three
thousand years of military history. Kenneth Payne describes
strategy as an evolved package of conscious and unconscious
behaviors with roots in our primate ancestry. Our minds were shaped
by the need to think about warfare-a constant threat for early
humans. As a result, we developed a sophisticated and strategic
intelligence. The implications of AI are profound because they
depart radically from the biological basis of human intelligence.
Rather than being just another tool of war, AI will dramatically
speed up decision making and use very different cognitive
processes, including when deciding to launch an attack, or escalate
violence. AI will change the essence of strategy, the organization
of armed forces, and the international order. This book is a
fascinating examination of the psychology of strategy-making from
prehistoric times, through the ancient world, and into the modern
age.
