John Bolton Predicts Autonomous Drone Swarms Will Replace Human Military Strategy by 2035
Future security analyst John Bolton today released a controversial forecast arguing that within the next decade, autonomous drone swarms—not human generals—will make the critical decisions in global conflicts. Bolton's report claims AI-driven units will be capable of executing complex tactical maneuvers faster than any human commander, rendering traditional military alliances obsolete. Critics warn of an unprecedented ethical crisis, as international law struggles to define accountability for war crimes committed by machines. The prediction has already sparked urgent talks among NATO allies, with Bolton suggesting nations that fail to adopt the technology risk "strategic irrelevance" by 2035.
