China's "intelligentized warfare" doctrine, developed over nearly a decade, integrates AI into command, control, intelligence, and strike, aiming to push decision cycles beyond human intervention, ultimately achieving human-out-of-the-loop systems. This approach, exemplified by a People's Liberation Army soldier operating 200 autonomous drones and China's 2025 AI-powered electronic warfare platform capable of suppressing American radar signals as far as Guam, deliberately removes human judgment from lethal decisions at scale.
The United States, while racing to achieve military AI dominance and declaring 2026 an "AI-first warfighting force" year, lacks a clear doctrine on what American AI power is for, focusing primarily on deployment velocity. The article argues that the U.S. must establish a published doctrine on human judgment in lethal autonomous systems, build a democratic AI coalition through structures like NATO, the Quad, and AUKUS around shared standards, and explicitly make the moral argument for American AI leadership, emphasizing accountability, rule of law, and inherent human dignity to counter Beijing's model.
