The Engage Your Destiny Podcast

The Military wants to do WHAT with A.I.?


Listen Later

This week on the Engage Your Destiny Podcast, we confront one of the most urgent questions of our time:

What happens when artificial intelligence enters the battlefield?

The U.S. military is accelerating AI training across all service branches. A $200 million Pentagon contract with Anthropic has ignited tension over autonomous drones, mass surveillance, and AI systems that can potentially make kill decisions on their own.

From the AI arms race with China and Russia, to the ethical standoff between the Department of Defense and major tech companies, this episode unpacks what’s really happening behind the headlines — and why it matters for every American.

Ben Peterson addresses the growing tension between military necessity and moral responsibility — and reminds believers that while we may support leaders, our ultimate loyalty belongs to Jesus alone.

This episode is not fear-driven.
It’s faith-driven.

WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
