- MIT Technology Review released an exclusive, subscriber-only eBook titled "How AI is becoming the next military advisor," packaging six previously published stories on military AI decision-making.
- The eBook's six stories were originally published in MIT Technology Review between April 11, 2025 and April 21, 2026, and have been updated to reflect recent developments, according to the publisher.
- One included story features a defense official revealing how AI chatbots could be used for targeting decisions, the publisher's description states.
- Another piece covers the Pentagon's planning for AI companies to train on classified data, attributed to a defense official in the story's title.
- The collection also includes reporting on generative AI learning to spy for the US military and a separate piece examining "How AI is turning the Iran conflict into theater."
- The eBook is available only to subscribers, who can choose their preferred file format to download it.
- MIT Technology Review frames the package as part of its broader "10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now" coverage of the "new war room," per the related stories listed alongside the eBook.
Why it matters: MIT Technology Review is consolidating consequential reporting — including Pentagon plans for AI training on classified data and chatbot use in targeting workflows — behind a subscriber paywall, concentrating six investigations on AI-enabled military decision-making into a single paid package rather than keeping them open-access.
