Current Inquiry: What Would AI Do About Warfare in a World That No Longer Needs It?
For decades, the idea has been proposed that war is no longer a necessary or rational tool of human progress. Yet conflict persists across nations, often tied to resources, power, and historical divisions. If humanity has the technological and economic capacity to reduce or eliminate many of the drivers of war, why does it continue? What would a realistic path look like to reduce or ultimately render warfare obsolete?
“War is obsolete.”
From Buckminster Fuller’s last interview, 1982. This inquiry tests that claim.
