Hyperwar (portmanteau from the Ancient Greek preposition and prefix Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ὑπέρ|hyper "beyond" and the English "war") is a term coined by John R. Allen and Amir Husain which refers to algorithmic or "AI"-controlled warfare with little to no human decision making.[1] [2] Due to the autonomous nature of AI, it could rapidly increase the speed of warfare, especially if more than one side is relying on AI.[1] AI is not limited to new weapons such as drones or cyberwar, it can affect all forms of military planning.[1]
