“Ask any kind of AI to picture somebody in the military, they will come up with this picture of a very strong man with a weapon running through a forest, or somebody in a fighter jet,” she tells The Stack during a conversation at the 2026 ESET World conference in Berlin.
But, she says the reality of the armed forces now is that "only a very small percentage will still need those physical skills. The majority [of people] are used for their very broad ways of thinking.”
