Nauti's Take

This analysis makes one thing clear: AI militarization is no longer a future scenario — it's happening now. For security and policy professionals, this creates urgent new action areas and real career opportunities.

At the same time, the nuclear-age comparisons aren't alarmist: without international agreements and oversight mechanisms, the risks are severe. Those who want to shape this need to engage now.
