Soldiers control drones by thought for millisecond war.

The use of AI tools in attacks on Iran signifies a new era of bombing where decisions are made quicker than thought, according to experts. The US military reportedly used Anthropic's Claude AI model in recent strikes to accelerate the targeting process. Israel is also developing brain-computer interfaces for soldiers to control drone swarms with thought, aiming to improve reaction times from seconds to milliseconds. This technology allows individual soldiers to outmaneuver machine swarms by tapping directly into neural intent.
