"How many lives does it take before institutions adapt?" At the AI+ Expo, Admiral Pierre Vandier delivers a chilling historical warning. In 1914, military leaders dismissed airplanes, submarines, and tanks as "toys" or "unproven," relying instead on horses and bayonets—sleepwalking right into a global catastrophe. Today, as warfare undergoes a massive technological shift, the Admiral warns we are facing the exact same institutional resistance. But in a nuclear age, we can’t afford to wait for a mass slaughter to finally learn the lesson. #NationalSecurity #MilitaryTech #History #AI #defensepolicy #WW1 #nato #Shorts #france #war
