# Hyperwar

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. 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. AI is not limited to new weapons such as drones or cyberwar, it can affect all forms of military planning.
