Verification collapse, procurement politics, and the governance gap widening beneath both.
AI isn’t a truth machine.
But people still act on what it produces as if it were.
That’s where the real problem begins.
Not in whether the system knows the truth
but in who remains accountable once its output becomes action.

Does anyone know how to actually carry out all the actions called for here? That is, do the theories, techniques, tools, tradecraft and techies actually exist? I believe not. I wrote a letter about this: https://sotaletters.substack.com/p/mathematical-challenges-from-ai-ethics
Strong piece. The part that hits hardest is that AI is not just being used in war, it is shaping how people see and misunderstand war in real time. And once verification breaks, truth starts losing before the conflict is even understood.
Great article, thank you
