Alien Oracles: Military Decision-Making with Unexplainable AI

Advanced AI systems will soon generate military strategies that, while brilliant, may appear completely alien and counterintuitive to human commanders. This is because an AI's ability to process vast datasets and learn without human bias allows it to discover novel solutions that defy conventional military wisdom. A fundamental paradox emerges where the most creative and decisive AI-driven strategies are also the least comprehensible to the leaders who must approve them. This presents a critical dilemma for military decision-makers, forcing them to decide whether to trust an unexplainable "black box" with potentially thousands of lives at stake.
