Frank Bradley, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, told attendees at a recent special forces conference in Tampa that troops \u201chave to be very careful about how we approach AI\u2019s deployment and its role in delivering lethal force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Bradley said he can envision a future where AI determines targets but stressed that \u201cwe, as humans, must have the confidence that it will deliver force only where we intend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">His remarks, highlighting the need for safeguards, come as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes to rapidly expand AI use in the military. This effort has led to tensions with some technology companies concerned about safety measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Hegseth has argued that the Pentagon should be allowed to use AI in any legal way. Speaking to SpaceX employees in January, he said he would reject AI models \u201cthat won\u2019t allow you to fight wars,\u201d adding that systems should operate \u201cwithout ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">The use of AI in the military is part of a broader push by the administration to strengthen what it sees as a key U.S. advantage, even as pressure grows to ensure responsible safeguards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">President Donald Trump also scrapped plans to sign a new AI executive order, citing concerns that it could weaken the country\u2019s competitive edge. \u201cWe\u2019re leading China, we\u2019re leading everybody, and I don\u2019t want to do anything that gets in the way of that lead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">A Pentagon official said efforts are focused on developing \u201cfunctional battlefield tools\u201d to help troops identify targets more quickly and accelerate operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Officials at U.S. Special Operations Command emphasized that AI&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emirates247.com\/world\/us-military-expands-use-of-artificial-intelligence-amid-calls-for-safeguards\/2133\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US military expands use of artificial intelligence amid calls for safeguards https:\/\/www.emirates247.com\/world\/us-military-expands-use-of-artificial-intelligence-amid-calls-for-safeguards\/2133 Publish Date: 2026-05-31&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260370,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/api.emirates247.com\/emirates247\/uploads\/images\/2026\/05\/31\/3185.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260369"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260369"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260371,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260369\/revisions\/260371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
