September’s launch of a long-range ICBM in the Pacific—China’s first such test in decades—evaluated the missile’s capabilities and sent a political message.
The development of AI weapons may be equivalent to the nuclear revolution, according to Bradley Thayer, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy.
