This year\u2019s summit is all about war \u2013 but what they all want to conquer is artificial intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This year\u2019s Bilderberg summit <\/a>is a council of war. On the agenda: Russia and Iran. In the conference room: the secretary general of Nato, the German defence minister, and the director of the French foreign intelligence service, DGSE.<\/p>\n

They are joined in Turin, Italy, by a slew of academic strategists and military theorists, but for those countries in geopolitical hotspots there is nothing theoretical about these talks. Not when the prime ministers of Estonia and Serbia are discussing Russia<\/a>, or Turkey\u2019s deputy PM is talking about Iran.<\/p>\n

The clearest indication that some sort of US-led conflict is on the cards is the presence of the Pentagon\u2019s top war-gamer, James H Baker. He is an expert in military trends, and no trend is more trendy in the world of battle strategy than artificial intelligence. Bilderberg<\/a> is devoting a whole session to AI this year \u2013 and has invited military theorist Michael C Horowitz, who has written extensively on its likely impact on the future of war.<\/p>\n
