With all that information in mind, let's go back to Taiwan, but imagine a different scenario.

The attack might begin the same way.

Chinese missiles streak towards Taiwan, but this time, the response is instant.

A fleet of AI-driven autonomous drones, already stationed in the region by allies, launch within seconds.

Swarming together in coordinated attacks, they intercept incoming Chinese bombers and cruise missiles before they ever reach Taiwan.

In the Pacific, a distributed force of unmanned submarines, stealthy drone warships and autonomous aircraft that work alongside manned systems strike from unpredictable locations.

Our AI piloted fighter swarms, engaged Chinese aircraft in dogfights, responding faster than any human possibly could.

On the ground, robotic sentries and AI-assisted long-range fires halt China's amphibious assault before a single Chinese boot reaches Taiwan's shores.

By deploying autonomous systems at scale, this type of autonomous system, we prove to our adversaries that we have the capacity to win.

That is how we reclaim our deterrence.

To do so, we just have to stand with our allies across the world, united by the shared values and common resolve that we've shared for the better part of a century.

Our defenders, the men and the women who volunteer to risk our lives, deserve technology that makes them stronger, faster, and safer.

Anything less is a betrayal, because that technology is available today.

This is how we prevent a repeat of Pearl Harbor.

We could be the second greatest generation by rethinking warfare altogether.

Thank you.

I love killer robots.

The thing that people have to remember is that this idea of humans building tools that divorce the design of the tool from when the decision is made to enact violence, it's not something new.

We've been doing it for thousands of years.

Pit traps, spike traps, a huge variety of weapons, even into the modern era.
