Algorithm Companies Transform Defence Industrial Base
The US Military Industrial Complex is undergoing a significant transformation, with the core shifting from traditional hardware manufacturers to algorithm and AI companies. This shift is driven by the arithmetic of cost-imposition, the venture-velocity logic of capital, and the architectural revolution of software-defined warfare. The Pentagon has signed agreements with AI companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, and Google, to deploy their capabilities on classified networks. According to The Hindu, this shift may have significant implications for the global defence industrial base.
