Drone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future Free Audiobook Download by Seth J. Frantzman

Drones give the military an edge over enemies, but it's not just about the technology. It's about who controls it and what the future of warfare will look like if humans don't take control of this progress.

In the age of Artificial Intelligence, what challenges do we face and how will our wars change? What are the limits of war and technology?

Drones have become the most widespread weapon on Earth. They spy on civilians, they drop bombs, and they kill people. At times, drones are used by the United States to fight terrorism in war-torn countries around the world. However, despite this use of drones, they've also been widely abused by law enforcement agencies around the world to surveil protesters and hunt down criminals. One case that made headlines recently is in Ferguson, Missouri where a drone was used to surveil protesters during a general assembly call. This book examines how we got here and looks at what might happen next as drone technology continues to evolve and advance with artificial intelligence becoming more prominent in our day-to-day lives.

In the year 1915, an American hunter shot a stag in France. That's it. So what? Well, this hunter had a gun that was so deadly that people called it "the machine gun". In 2018, people are shooting drones with machine guns and calling it progress. The military-industrial complex has changed the world more than we fathom.

In this book, Seth J. Frantzman tells the story of the drone wars and how they have changed modern warfare. He introduces readers to the leaders who are at the forefront of this technology, from a company CEO that is pioneering new use cases for drones, to a U.S. Air Force pilot who flies them. He also explores what could happen when these technologies become more accessible in both civilian and military life, and he ends with a chapter on ethics and accountability in war-time applications of this technology.

This book is a gripping, urgent, and cautionary exploration of the global drone wars. The author, Seth J. Frantzman, explores why drones have been deployed by the United States in such great numbers and asks what their purpose really is. He explains how they are not just tools but rather weapons that can be used to kill with minimal risk to those carrying them out.
