Military AI in Europe - not smart enough?
summary
Europe already fields AI for ISR video triage, predictive maintenance on Rafale jets and logistics; testbeds include Germany’s crisis‑forecasting project, the UK’s "Many Drones Make Light" swarms (up to ~20 UAVs under one operator) and Franco‑German‑Spanish FCAS plans for drone swarms and a combat cloud. Project Maven and ~140 US intelligence AI projects show civilian tools weaponize easily. Risks include ocean transparency undermining nuclear second‑strike, rapid "flash wars", cyber/terrorist misuse and Europe’s politics largely staying silent except France and the Netherlands.
