In 1970, a peculiar invention made waves at the Japan World Exposition, a world’s fair devoted to “Progress and Harmony for Mankind.” The Ultrasonic Bath, created by Sanyo Electric Co.—the modern Panasonic Holdings Corp—was described as a “human washing machine,” and symbolized the future of hygiene. While it never took off commercially, the invention was stuck in the mind of a fourth-grader named Yasuaki Aoyama. Fast forward more than half a century, and the company he now leads has given this concept another try.

Anduril’s demo illustrates how eagerly the defense industry is experimenting with new forms of AI. The startup is developing a larger autonomous fighter for the US Air Force, designed to fly alongside crewed jets, through a project called Fury. Many of these systems are already autonomous, thanks to older AI tech, but the idea is to incorporate aspects of LLMs into the chain of command, to relay orders and surface useful information to pilots.
