Broyles Special Activities and Innovation Operations Evaluation Group Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. However, unlike the last “sea change,” during the Cold War, when advanced technologies were developed primarily by the Department of Defense (DoD), the key technology enablers today are being developed mostly in the commercial world. This study looks at the state-of-the-art of AI, machine-learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. While no one can predict how AI will evolve or predict its impact on the development of military autonomous systems, it is possible to anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DoD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies.

Not a Bad SidetrackBy Brandon J. SmithDebt of Bones is notable for a few reasons: First, it's short. While the other Sword of Truth novels are long, often much longer than they need to be, this slim novella cuts out most of the padding and tells a simple story. I read it in a single sitting on a cross-country plane ride.

It's the worst I've read in years and I'm amazed that I finished it. Truth is power.

I thought it was a step in the right direction. Richard then closes the gateway seemingly forever and separates the worlds. It wasn't until the very end of the book that she actually swings a sword and that's about as much action you get out of this book besides her running through a maze as a dead corpse chases her. The message of the story is the exact same message that Goodkind has tried to beat into us from the very beginning.
