Battlefield 2.0: How Edge Artificial Intelligence Is Setting Man Against Machine

The control room falls silent as multiple video streams from live bodycams fill its display monitors. The windowless building, its meter-thick walls baking in the late-afternoon heat, carries no signage, no identifying markers. As the men enter, the control room displays adjust from sunlight to show a near pitch-black corridor with doorways visible to the left. The audio is silent, save for the tread of rubber boots through pooled condensation and the hum of a generator somewhere inside. The four men had seen images of the hostage before they reached the building.
