In October 1984, the movie “The Terminator” introduced us to Skynet, a futuristic artificial intelligence system that eventually became “self-aware” before turning on its creators and aiming to wipe out humanity. It is an overly sensational image of a future dominated by renegade intelligent machines.
In a more realistic future environment, artificial intelligence is distributed throughout the battlespace, collecting, curating, aggregating, fusing and routing information to create an ever-increasing advantage across various operations and sustainment scenarios for the military. Unlike Skynet, this distributed AI is underpinned by a delegation framework where humans are essential.
With this in mind, I’m reminded what Gen. Raymond Thomas, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, said last December: “We need to embrace technology as a central essential weapon in our arsenal.” So how do we do that with an AI system?

That's what I think about the green party, the NDP in Canada and socialist like Bernie Sanders and ocasio-cortez being the human Skynet that will force us all to pay carbon taxes and make us all Drive cars like the volt or like the Tesla. By the way, they're going to close the Chevy Volt plants in Canada. He won't have much choices, a sports car, a sport utility vehicle, a pickup truck or an autonomous electric car. There are human versions of Skynet forcing us to make limited choices.
