“Books by techies about data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning put many people to sleep after a page or two. But wait, here is a book on those subjects that is a real page-turner written by a famous spy catcher whose career thwarted the wicked cyber plots of our enemies, and by the dean of naval historians whose books have recounted the great successes of American technology in winning and deterring wars. In clear and crisp prose they illuminate the huge promise in mastering these technologies, and the terrible consequences of failing to do so.” —John Lehman, secretary of the Navy, author of Oceans Ventured: Winning the Cold War at Sea

“Because AI is going to war with us (in both senses), those interested in the nation’s security must attend to its potentials and perils. There is no better place to start than with this volume, where professionals and academics observe AI’s contribution from more angles than we can imagine.” —Martin C. Libicki, author Cyberspace in Peace and War, distinguished visiting professor, U.S. Naval Academy

“This first class set of essays removes the hype that surrounds the key role that AI will play in the future of naval warfare. It should be read by everyone from warfighters to concerned civilians.” —Joseph S. Nye Jr is former dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and author of Do Morals Matter? Presidents and Foreign Policy from FDR to Trump

“AI at War is an extremely powerful book that should be read by every national security practitioner, every naval commander, and every concerned citizen. Editors Tangredi and Galdorisi have provided some of the brightest minds within government, industry, and academia the opportunity to weave an intellectual tapestry of profound breadth and depth on the myriad questions related to how Artificial Intelligence will shape future warfare. It is an “instant classic” that will do more to generate needed debate on the subject than any book published in recent decades.” —Capt. John E. Jackson, USN (Ret.), E.A. Sperry Chair of Unmanned and Robotic Systems, U.S. Naval War College, editor of One Nation, Under Drones
