Agentic AI: The Weapon That No Longer Needs a Warrior

The development of weapons has historically involved increasing the distance between the warrior and the target. Initially, weapons like spears and bows extended the reach of the human arm, while rifles further increased the distance to a quarter mile. Later, aircraft enabled attacks to be carried out across oceans, continually widening the gap between the warrior and the wound. Throughout these advancements, one constant remained: a human was responsible for selecting the target. This dynamic is now changing with the emergence of Agentic AI. The role of the human warrior in choosing targets is being reevaluated.
