Army says it’s part of plan to tap latest AI technology from private sector that will increase ‘efficiencies’ on the battlefields (i.e. killing fields) of the future. In race to defeat China will we become China?
Executives from Meta, Palantir, and OpenAI are being sworn into the Army Reserves at the rank of lieutenant colonel. That’s an officer’s rank typically reserved for someone who has served for years and has led thousands of men into combat.
Known as Detachment 201, the new “Executive Innovation Corps” will be responsible for the military’s tech transformation, integrating new technologies such as AI-powered drones and humanoid robots, the Army announced on June 13.
Patrick Wood, editor in chief of Technocracy.News and an expert on the global technocracy movement, said the move is unprecedented.
“In the history of the military, no civilian has been summarily appointed to rank of lieutenant colonel until recently,” Wood told me in an exclusive interview. “The rules changed in 2019 when the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorized the practice. Not surprisingly, the staff that created NDAA were populated with Technocrats.”
