NB our web does not aim to cover ai in war -actually scsp.ai is recommended as having capability of ai war as well as 2025 reports half century of work on transforming ai education
============= Sample of current Chats - Gemini marks upcoming Diary
The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) and NVIDIA have partnered on a Task Force on AI and the Future of Work, with an interim report expected at the AI+ Expo on May 7, 2026. This initiative includes the March 11, 2026, AI+ Education Summit in Washington, D.C., aiming to address workforce readiness and AI adoption. Furthermore, Jensen Huang is advancing agentic AI through NVIDIA's "five-layer cake" strategy, focusing on personalized agents with partners like CrewAI and LangChain to scale AI applications. Read the full details at SCSP.

AI-DOE OCT 2025
27 Feb 2026 Busy Day at OpenAi (new funding Amazon, Softbank, Nvidia ); May have replaced Anthropic at Department of War but redline question remain- autonomous weaponry? surveillance of US citizens
this web not comptenet on ai and war but we asked grom for 5 to follow at scsp.ai: Ylli Bajraktari (President and CEO of SCSP)
ReplyDeleteHe previously served as Executive Director of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), which heavily emphasized AI's role in future warfare, decision advantage, and military overmatch. At SCSP, he leads efforts on defense transition, digital warfare corps concepts, human-machine teaming for offsets against adversaries , and memos urging DoD adoption of AI for lethality, autonomy, and winning in contested environments. His background includes senior DoD roles under leaders like H.R. McMaster and Robert Work, directly tied to AI-military strategy.
Ylber Bajraktari (Vice President, Policy; focus on defense and intelligence)
He co-authors key SCSP reports on leveraging human-machine teaming (HMT) and collaboration (HMC) to change warfare conduct, offset adversary advantages (e.g., in Ukraine-inspired scenarios), achieve decision advantage, and impose dilemmas via AI/autonomy. Contributions include policy guides on AI-enabled battlefield changes, ISR/counter-ISR, and institutional integration for military effectiveness.
James Ryseff (Director, Defense)
As a defense director at SCSP, he works on core military AI topics, including human-machine teaming in warfare, AI ubiquity on the battlefield (beyond just lethal autonomy to teaming dynamics), and operational integration. His role involves advancing SCSP's defense panel outputs on future war character, adaptation, and AI-driven advantages.
Ananmay Agarwal (Associate Director, Defense)
Focused on defense at SCSP, with a background in aerospace engineering, autonomous robotics, and guidance/navigation/control (GNC) for systems like microsatellites. This expertise aligns with SCSP's push for AI/autonomy in distributed operations, uncrewed systems, and multi-domain warfare—key to modern military applications.
Justin Lynch (Senior Director for Defense; also contributes to related reports)
He leads discussions and publications on human-machine teaming in warfare, AI's role in processing battlefield data, comparative human vs. machine strengths in combat tasks, and building trust in HMT for warfighting. Co-authors pieces on AI becoming ubiquitous in military contexts, including non-autonomous but critical teaming applications.
These individuals are central to SCSP's defense-focused output, which repeatedly addresses how AI reshapes warfare (e.g., faster OODA loops, distributed forces, cognitive/electronic warfare, and countering peer threats). SCSP's reports often draw from NSCAI foundations and real-world conflicts like Ukraine to argue for U.S. military AI leadership. For the most current bios or contributions, check scsp.ai/about/who-we-are, as the team evolves. If you're referring to a specific list or event (e.g., from DC workshops), more details could help refine this!
SCSP's defense-related work is primarily housed under their Defense Panel outputs, Defense Paper Series (discussion papers from advisors tied to 2024 working groups), Offset strategies, interim reports, and memos to policymakers. Here are the main publications in this domain, based on their publicly available reports (as of February 28, 2026):
ReplyDeleteCore Flagship/Strategic Reports
Offset-X: Closing the Deterrence Gap and Building the Future Joint Force (May 2023)
A foundational competitive strategy proposing technology-centered approaches (e.g., AI, autonomy, human-machine teaming) to maintain U.S. military superiority, deter aggression (especially from China), and redesign the Joint Force. It builds on prior Offset strategies and addresses force design, capabilities, and reducing war costs for the U.S. while increasing them for adversaries.

The Future of Conflict and the New Requirements of Defense (Interim Panel Report - Defense, September/October 2022)
The first major Defense Panel interim report outlining how emerging technologies (including AI) are changing warfare's character, China's theories of victory, U.S. asymmetries to leverage, and the need for an "Offset-X" competitive strategy to restore power projection and overmatch in the Indo-Pacific.

Recent Defense Paper Series (2024 Advisors' Discussion Papers)
These accompany SCSP's Defense Panel working groups and explore specific aspects of future warfare:
The Character of Future War to 2030 (Lt. Gen. (ret.) Clint Hinote & Maj. Gen. (ret.) Mick Ryan)
Analyzes evolving war trends (e.g., pace of change, proliferation of tech/AI, lessons from Ukraine/Israel conflicts) and implications for force adaptation.

Reimagining Military C2 in the Age of AI – Revolution, Regression, or Evolution (Lt. Gen. (ret.) John (Jack) N.T. Shanahan)
Discusses transforming all-domain command and control with AI for decision advantage in high-end combat.
Direct PDF link
Joint Warfighting Concept 2034-2044 (Dr. Thomas X. Hammes & Rear Adm. (ret.) Mark Montgomery)
Proposes shifts to defensive dominance responses, long-war realities, homeland defense, and offensive maneuver in contested environments.

Exploring the Future Operating Environment: 2035-50 (Dr. Keith Dear)
Examines radical changes from AGI/superintelligence impacts on warfare, constants like nuclear deterrence, and psychological effects in conflict.

Other Notable Defense-Focused Outputs
Memos to the President: Defense Transition (and related series, e.g., 2025) — Policy memos urging bold DoD adoption of AI for lethality, a Digital Warfare Corps, and closing gaps in digital domains.
Various Substack/Exchange pieces (e.g., on AI Axis, innovation to overmatch) supplement formal reports.
These are the most prominent and directly tied to war/defense themes. For the full list or updates, visit scsp.ai (reports section) or their defense-specific pages. SCSP's work evolves rapidly, often informed by real-time conflicts and tech advances. If you need summaries of specific ones or links to related events, let me know!
