Overview

A war that moves at machine speed changes more than tactics; it changes who gets to decide, and when. This book explains how algorithmic warfare compresses decisions, why predictive targeting raises new accountability burdens, and where autonomous command can fracture alliances or steady them. It is a field manual for readers who want clarity over spectacle. You will learn how capability stacks work in practice: data pipelines, models, and compute chokepoints that shape AI in defence. You will see how cyber sovereignty turns clouds and cables into contested terrain, why tech militarisation is as much about procurement and training as it is about code, and how global AI treaties might evolve from bans to baselines. Above all, you will gain a way to test claims, weigh trade-offs, and recognise when speed is masking risk. Written for policy leaders, defence professionals, technologists, and informed citizens tracking superpower competition, it offers durable concepts, practical checklists, and sober scenarios. If you care about military AI ethics and the realities of the geopolitical AI race, this is a clear-eyed guide to what matters and what merely makes noise.

Author Information

Dr. Karim Bellarte is a geopolitical analyst and AI policy scholar who studies how code, chips, and institutions reshape power. Raised between Beirut and Milan, he writes with the sensibility of borderlands, where rules meet realities, and every system is tested by people under pressure. As a former adviser at an international cyber futures forum, he has worked at the seam of defence, diplomacy, and digital infrastructure, translating complex technology into clear strategic choices. His mission is simple: strip away hype, foreground accountability, and give readers tools to interrogate any claim about autonomy, targeting, or control. A thread he returns to is the Mediterranean's history as a crossroads of empires: a reminder that lanes, cables, and ports still decide who sets the tempo. He believes durable security depends on transparent practice, not theatrical promises.
