Description

Strategy, Evolution, and War From Apes to Artificial Intelligence by Kenneth Payne explores how human strategy has evolved over time, with roots in our primate ancestry. Our minds were shaped by the need to think about warfare, leading to the development of sophisticated strategic intelligence. The implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on strategy are profound, departing radically from the biological basis of human intelligence. AI will dramatically speed up decision-making and use different cognitive processes, including when deciding to launch an attack or escalate violence. This book examines the psychology of strategy-making from prehistoric times through the ancient world and into the modern age. By understanding how our minds developed to think about warfare, we can gain insight into how AI will change the essence of strategy, the organization of armed forces, and the international order.
