Vice President J.D. Vance warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the battlefield and expressed deep concern about that trend.
The Washington Post reported that Vance made the remarks to cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado Springs on the 28th (local time), saying, “My biggest worry about AI is that it’s changing the nature of war.”
Vance told the graduates that AI is altering the battlefield in ways that can be both beneficial and harmful. He stressed that, to ensure future conflicts reflect the moral values of past generations, life-and-death decisions must remain the responsibility of humans rather than machines. He referenced Pope Leo XIV’s warning about not handing the most important moral choices over to digital technology and told cadets to apply that principle to wartime decision-making. “Value your role as decision-makers,” he said. “Use technology to improve yourselves, but do not submit to it.”
The Post noted Vance’s comments come as the Pentagon pushes to transform the U.S. military into an AI-first fighting force. Early in the Iran war, a U.S. strike on an Iranian girls’ elementary school killed 175 people, and reports say the attack used an AI-based military intelligence platform called the Maven Smart System (MMS).
