…This scenario is not as far fetched as you may think. In many cases it is just the further miniaturization of what we already have. Maybe a little more on my background to emphasize that I am not a tinfoil hat nut…

interesting video presentation,… was waiting for the punch line “making the world a better place!”
perhaps adding that bit of gallows humor might have been just a bit over the top,… anyway given Moore’s law, asymmetric “autonomous-information” warfare is inevitable
[quote] ON HYPERWAR
“…Technologies such as computer vision aided by machine-learning algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered autonomous decision making, advanced sensors, miniaturized high-powered computing capacity deployed at the ‘edge,’ high-speed networks, offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and a host of AI-enabled techniques such as autonomous swarming and cognitive analysis of sensor data will be at the heart of this revolution … [which will minimize] human decision making in the vast majority of processes traditionally required to wage war.
…What makes this new form of warfare unique is the unparalleled speed enabled by automating decision making and the concurrency of action that become possible by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine cognition. … In military terms, hyperwar may be redefined as a type of conflict where human decision making is almost entirely absent from the observe-orient-decide-act (OODA) loop. As a consequence, the time associated with an OODA cycle will be reduced to near-instantaneous responses. The implications of these developments are many and game changing.”
