NATO’s plan for a battlefield swarming with drones: Let AI fly, but keep lethal decisions human

NATO plans to fortify its eastern flank using an extensive digital network called the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative, incorporating drones, sensors, and artificial intelligence. While some systems may operate autonomously for functions like loitering or detecting targets, human operators will ultimately remain responsible for making the decisions regarding which targets are engaged or struck. This strategy aims to bolster defenses along NATO's borders with Russia and Belarus.
