FLOURNOY n 2002, a special operations team practiced raiding a safehouse.The team silently approached a two-story building, built for military training, where a fictitious terrorist leader was hiding. One soldier crept up to an open window and tossed in a small drone piloted by artificial intelligence.The Ai drone began flying autonomously through the building, room by room, beaming footage from its camera directly to the commander's handheld tablet outside. In just a few minutes, the team had full situational awareness of the interior of the building. It knew which rooms were empty, which were occupied by sleeping family members, and where the primary target was.The team entered the building knowing exactly where to go, reducing the risk for each member.The drill was a success: had it been real, the team would have killed the terrorist leader. MICHELE A. FLOURNOY is Co-Founder and Managing Partner ofWestExec Advisors and Chair of the Center for a New American Security. She served as Undersecretary of Defense for Policy from 2009 to 2012.
