Hyperwar (portmanteau from the Ancient Greek preposition and prefix ὑπέρ "beyond" and the English "war") is a term coined by John R. Allen and Amir Husain which refers to algorithmic or "AI"-controlled warfare with little to no human decision making.[1][2] Due to the autonomous nature of AI, it could rapidly increase the speed of warfare, especially if more than one side is relying on AI.[1] AI is not limited to new weapons such as drones or cyberwar, it can affect all forms of military planning.[1]
