Drones Wars: The former CEO of Google urges us to learn from the War War in Ukraine

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, tells the Milken Institute that the United States should study the war in Ukraine to learn about the future of war and control artificial intelligence techniques and drones.

Speaking at the Milkin World Institute 2025 conference on May 6, Schmidt said that the United States should study the war between Russia and Ukraine to plan for the future of the drone war because the tanks and aircraft around which the human being has become rapidly from the past.

According to Chamid, the model of men with weapons fighting against other rifles has become extinct.

“War will be tried online […] People will drink coffee while these wars are tried, and the actual battle will occur above – these robotic things mainly […] The presence of a fighter plane with a person in that has no meaning at all.

“Thousands of years ago, we had an idea, from a stereotype, a man and a pistol fighting another man and a rifle, or with a horse or what you haveSchmidt said.

“We are now cutting this connection forever!

“Since the war will be established online in one way or another, and in the equivalent of Moscow and Kiev, people will drink coffee while these wars are tried, and the actual battle above – these robotic things mainly will occur.

“This means, for example, that the presence of a fighter plane with man in it has no meaning at all.

“So, suddenly, it does not make sense of the logic of everything we do in our army; A automatic robotic systems for defense and crime must be builtHe added.

With another reference to the war in Ukraine, the former CEO of Google and the former opening president of the Pentagon Defense Innovation Council said that the five million dollars tanks were defeated by a drone of five thousand dollars.

“Nobody uses tanks anymore […] Five thousand drones can destroy a $ 5 million reservoir.

“People who build drones in Ukraine are very fun. I have always assumed that the wars were tanksSchmidt said.

“Nobody uses tanks anymore. They are completely safe. A five thousand dollar drone can destroy a reservoir of $ 5 million – by the way, a US reservoir costs $ 30 million“

With this knowledge, Schmidt said that the President and the Pentagon should study the war in Ukraine because they waste money on tanks and other things they do not need.

“The President and the Pentagon buy more of all the things they do not need. What they must do – being just explicit – is to study this war, and then America needs to control this future.”

“We have 5000 Abrams tanks. I believe in Germany sitting in warehouses – give them to someone elseSchmidt said.

“I am serious, we don’t just need them, and if you look at the current budget proposal, the President and the Pentagon buy more things they do not need.

“What they must do – just being frank – is to study this war, then America needs to control this future […] America is good in innovation, why do we not create in this field?He added.

No person can plan a [million drone] The battle is either an attack or defense against your attack without Amnesty International, in particular, reinforcement learning.

On the stage at the Milken Institute, Schmidt imagined a scenario a year from now as both sides of the conflict have a million drones, with varying capabilities.

He concluded that this type of drone war could not be made without the help of artificial intelligence, but until then, the results will become so unexpected that both sides will be deterred from each other’s fighting.

“No person can plan the battle either to attack or defend against your attack without Amnesty International, in particular, reinforcement learning,He said.

“End“According to Chamidt, it will be”Promoting learning planning defense and attacks simultaneously on both sides, which improving results“

The result?

When you face this scenario, the results will not be expected to the extent that the average person.It will be very afraid of what will happen“It will be a deterrent of the fighting.

In other words, contrary to the deterrent extermination in the case of all nuclear war, the deterrent is not to launch the aircraft drifting attacks on behalf of the Acting is that no human being will be able to predict the result.

Using this logic, the more drones than artificial intelligence on both sides, everyone will be safer.

“Data centers will require an additional 29 GB of energy by 2027 and 67 Gigawatts by 2030.”

The increasing energy requirements for artificial intelligence centers are said to require more than 30 GB of energy in the coming years, enough for the power of dozens of cities.

On April 9, Schmidt witnessed before the House of Representatives on Energy and Trade that the artificial intelligence revolution was “unlimited” and that databases are likely “likely” “”It requires 29 gigawatts of energy by 2027 and 67 Gigawatts by 2030“

In response to Schmidt’s certificate on X, Philip Johnston, CEO of a start -up company called Starcloud.The only way to meet this demand is solar powered data centers in space– This is what Starcloud aims to do.

On the same topic, Art Technica Eric Berger, space editor -in -chief, commented, “,”This may help explain the reason for the Schmidt subscription“Which Eric Schmidt answered,”Yes“

Therefore, let’s take a look at a modern timetable for events:

• March 10, 2025Schmidt is a “great investment” in the space of the broken relative and becomes its CEO.
• April 9, 2025Shamidit Congress tells that artificial intelligence data centers will require an astronomical amount of energy.
• April 29, 2025Schmidt emphasizes that he controlled the relative space to build artificial intelligence centers in space
• May 6, 2025Schmidt says that the future of the war will be drones at the Milkin International Institute conference

Artificial intelligence is the tool of all purpose, for good or disease, and Schmidt places its bets where it can benefit from them.
