The assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh by Israeli operatives using a remote-operated machine gun highlights the growing role of AI in military operations. Nations are rapidly advancing in acquiring AI-powered weapons with little oversight. The Ukraine conflict showcases the use of integrated battle-management systems and AI-driven drones, while in Gaza, Israel's AI targeting platform, "the Gospel," plays a central role with concerns about civilian impact. The lack of international consensus on ethical boundaries for AI in warfare raises urgent questions. To address this, the United States could lead by committing to oversight, establishing an independent expert group to monitor AI effects in war, and advocating for international agreements to set conduct parameters for AI weapons, mirroring past efforts to regulate new technologies post-World War II.
