The Pentagon believes that artificial intelligence will play a greater role in military target decision-making.

According to reports, the Pentagon has quietly revised the principles for the U.S. military to choose targets on the battlefield, paving the way for artificial intelligence to participate in critical wartime decision-making in the future. The revised target guidance was approved in April without being publicly disclosed, proposing the development of a "system initiated by artificial intelligence and monitored by humans" in the future, evolving from the current human-in-the-loop model where actions are initiated by humans. The media reviewed this previously unreported updated content. Although the document is not classified, it has not yet been released to the public.
