On Sunday, Palmer Luckey, the co-founder of Anduril Industries, came forward to justify the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in warfare, especially when it comes to making life-and-death decisions. He underscored the necessity of employing the most advanced technology available in scenarios where life hangs in the balance, arguing that sticking to outdated technology does not bestow any moral superiority.

Anduril Industries is a prominent defense technology firm dedicated to the development of automated systems. At the heart of its technological prowess lies the AI software platform named 'Lattice', which serves as the cornerstone of the company's innovations.

Before venturing into the defense sector, Luckey was the visionary behind the virtual reality pioneer, Oculus VR. This year, in a significant move, Anduril Industries took over Microsoft's substantial $22 billion contract with the U.S. Army and, in October, proudly unveiled its cutting-edge 'HawkEye' system.

Luckey articulated that his primary motivation for establishing Anduril was to draw tech-savvy individuals into the realms of defense and national security. In recent times, there has been a noticeable shift in how militaries operate, driven by the continuous infusion of cutting-edge technologies. This transformation has fueled a boom in the defense technology industry.

Luckey has firmly stated that for the United States, there is no turning back from the path of integrating AI into warfare.
