Until it is clear that the use of AI in "actually fighting wars" doesn't put senior military people at risk of never being able to leave their own country again for fear of prosecution for war crimes, I'm not so sure that the "rapid and increasing rise" is going to actually be a thing.

It does not seem like USA, Israel, Iran or Russia cares.

That being said, if it has meaningful military data on it, then it is a valid target. And that would be their argument.

I don't believe that's a real concern that the senior military people have anymore. War crimes are legal in 2026. That ship has sailed (and was double tap struck by the US Navy). Nobody is doing anything about it.

The Hague Invasion Act takes care of that.
