FT: AI-Assisted Target Generation Is Scaling Errors as Militaries Race From 20 Analysts to 1,000 Decisions per Hour

Reporting notes that 20 soldiers using AI targeting can now handle the workload once managed by 2,000 in the 2003 Iraq invasion, with programs pushing toward 1,000 tactical decisions per hour (one every 3.6 seconds).
