An officer and a gen AI: the future of war
Pål Enger, Jason Palmer, Rosie Bloor, Shashank Joshi, Rory Galloway, Anne Rowe
Military strategists and ethicists are currently grappling with a widening gap as AI integrates into warfare across logistics, decision support, and lethal autonomous systems, creating operational risks regarding algorithmic failure and geopolitical competition among the US, China, and Russia. In a parallel scientific breakthrough, researchers have identified "fossil chromosomes" preserved in 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth cells, revealing that rapid dehydration in cold environments can maintain genomic structural integrity for hundreds of millions of years. Meanwhile, the life of Norwegian criminal Paal Enger, who famously stole Edvard Munch's *The Scream* during the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics due to a personal psychological obsession, concluded at age 57 with a legacy defined by high-profile thefts and an artistic transformation into painting while incarcerated.
