There is currently a great deal of momentum behind the integration of AI enabled technologies into the U.S. military. This includes desires to leverage the technology for purposes of command and control. These efforts are predicated on dreams of AI and machine learning empowering U.S. commanders to make better decisions at a faster pace. However, this ongoing incorporation of AI into military decision-making processes promises to delegate elements of decision-making away from humans, challenging long-standing military traditions emphasizing the heroic archetype of the decisive, intuitive, and audacious commander. As such, this dissertation seeks to address how, in the face of these competing perspectives, did the prospect of delegating decisions in war to 'intelligent machines' gain its current momentum? It argues that this puzzle is resolved through a focus on the emergence of particular visions of war in the post-WWII era, specifically related to the themes of speed and knowledge in U.S. military thought. Through the use of a combination of computational text analysis techniques and a genealogical approach, this dissertation uncovers shifts in how members of the U.S. defense architecture conceive of and prioritize speed and knowledge and their relationship to war. It illustrates that these changes serve as a form of rhetorical resources in debates over the merits of AI and its role in military decision-making, helping to lock down and formalize new meanings and practices related to modern command. These findings have important implications for how we analyze the relationship between military culture, technology, and the practices of war; thus, pointing to how imaginations of technology and war intersect with significant implications for how future conflicts will unfold.
