Three Ways to Profit From AI Warfare

When people say AI is the future of warfare, they’re really missing the point...                                                                                                      [Wealth Daily] Jason Simpkins / Apr 13, 2024 Three Ways to Profit From AI Warfare In a few weeks, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall will climb into the cockpit of an F-16 that’s been converted for drone flight to see for himself how the AI-controlled plane performs. “There will be a pilot with me who will just be watching, as I will be, as the autonomous technology works,” Kendall told the Senate Appropriations Committee defense panel members. “Hopefully neither he or I will be needed to fly the airplane.” It’s just the latest step in [a bleeding-edge defense program]( I’ve been tracking — and profiting from — for years. The goal of the program is to pair manned fighter jets with swarms of autonomous, AI-enabled drones. These drones will provide reconnaissance, probe enemy defenses, jam communications, identify potential threats and targets, and even go on the offensive, launching their own bombs and missiles to neutralize enemy assets. And they’ll do it all autonomously, with little or no input from the pilot, who will act more like a quarterback calling plays at the line of scrimmage. This initiative is officially described by the Pentagon as “Collaborative Combat Aircraft,” but I’ve dubbed it [“Project Wingman.”]( No matter what you call it, though, the Air Force is set to pour $559 million into the project in FY2025, alone. And in fact, the Project Wingman program has secured $5.8 billion in funding from 2024–28, with a goal of fielding at least 1,000 of the unmanned autonomous aircraft by the end of the decade. Global Nuclear Plan Nuclear reactors on the market today need more flexibility and versatility — in other words, an upgrade. There’s a little-known company that’s leveraging itself to be the leader of making new and improved nuclear reactors. It’s already inking deals and locking in new contracts. In fact, one of its biggest contracts is with the U.S. Department of Energy. [Here’s your chance to secure a foothold in tomorrow’s incredibly competitive energy market with this play...]( The investment will be worth it. Especially since, these “loyal wingmen” will only cost a third of what an F-35 currently runs. It’s also a necessity due to the evolving nature of warfare and the technological advances of near-peer adversaries like Russia and China. Indeed, Ukraine has shown just how effective small, cheap drones can be when deployed against a larger, better-armed adversary. Other nation states and militant groups (like Iran and its regional proxies) have taken note of this as well. It’s clear now these smaller and traditionally weaker entities don’t need to compete with America’s stable of aircraft carriers, fifth-generation fighter jets, or billion-dollar battle tanks. They just need to overwhelm targets with swarms of cheap, easy-to-make drones. China, meanwhile, came to this realization years ago and has established itself as a world leader in drone production. Not only that, but China has also upgraded its defenses to the point that even America’s most advanced weapons platforms could struggle to make a dent. At this point, sending manned aircraft into contested airspace could result in massive losses both in terms of human warfighters and their hundred-million-dollar jets. This isn’t the only use for AI on the battlefield, either. C3.ai (NYSE: AI) makes software that can analyze and model missile trajectories to improve America’s defenses. It also improves aircraft fleet readiness by analyzing flight data, maintenance logs, and user manuals to predict what subsystems on a fighter jet need to be replaced and when. It does both these things faster than any human ever could, absorbing mountains of data and spitting out actionable conclusions. Biden's New Law Triggers a Lithium Frenzy(This $5 Stock Could Explode) President Biden has taken decisive steps to jump-start domestic lithium mining and production. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, he's earmarked a massive $369 BILLION for EV and battery companies. But to qualify for the full credit, vehicles must have at least 50% of their battery metals sourced from North America by 2024... And this requirement DOUBLES to 100% by 2029. As a result, automakers are scrambling to secure their lithium supply within the U.S. This strategy not only aims to reduce U.S. reliance on Chinese lithium... But it also turns a hidden American caldera into the center of a new lithium mining age... Containing up to 120 megatons of lithium, not only does it dwarf all other known deposits worldwide by a substantial margin... But it will also allow the U.S. to fulfill its future lithium demands and achieve complete energy independence. And there's a little-known publicly traded company already leading this lithium-rich caldera. This company exclusively owns a land area as large as Martha’s Vineyard... And it’s estimated to contain 19 million tons of lithium... That’s worth a staggering $354 BILLION. This amount is more than enough to meet the global demand for over a decade! In just a few months, the company plans to start extracting 40,000 tons of lithium annually. One that could easily support the production of 1 million EVs every year. You can buy shares for just $5 right now — but not for long...

As a result, the IDF was able to strike hundreds of terrorist assets — rocket manufacturing, production, and storage sites; military intelligence offices; ships; submersibles; drones; and missile launchers — that were aimed at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Prior to that, Israel spent years identifying possible targets, but with AI they were able to acquire them in real time. They even identified the personal homes of top commanders, aiding in the elimination of more than 150 terrorist operatives. One strike was so precise that it killed senior Hamas operative Bassem Issa, who was hiding out in a tunnel beneath a high-rise building surrounded by six schools and a hospital — and it did it without a single civilian casualty. So when people say AI is the future of warfare, they’re really missing the point. AI is very much the present of warfare, and its role will only expand further from here. We truly aren’t that far removed from armies of autonomous robots doing our fighting for us. It’s a scary thought, to be sure, but it’s also a massive profit opportunity that every investor should jump on. So make sure to [check out my full report here]( if you haven’t already.
