War Is Changing, Peace Is Not
War today looks very different from the past. Soldiers are no longer the only ones fighting. Computers, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) now play a major role in how wars are planned and carried out. Drones can fly on their own. Machines can choose targets. Missiles can strike faster than humans can think.
This change does not make the world safer. It makes war faster, colder, and more dangerous for civilians.
This is why Humanity United for Universal Demilitarisation (HUFUD) believes that the only real solution is not better weapons, but the end of militarism itself.
How Artificial Intelligence Is Used in War
AI is already being used in real wars, including Ukraine and Gaza. Modern military systems can collect data from satellites, cameras, and sensors. This data is processed by software that helps decide where and when to attack.
In many cases:
Drones can continue missions even if GPS signals are blocked
Software creates lists of targets automatically
Humans are given only seconds to approve attacks
This means decisions about life and death are often rushed and guided by machines, not careful human judgment.
Why AI Makes War More Dangerous
AI does not understand fear, pain, or human life. It cannot feel regret. It cannot tell the difference between a wounded person and a real threat. Experts warn that these systems can make serious mistakes and can even be tricked.
Faster wars mean:
Less time to question decisions
Less accountability for killing
Higher risk for civilians
AI does not make war humane. It makes war more efficient—and that is more dangerous.
The Real Problem: Militarism
HUFUD explains that AI is not the main problem. Militarism is.
Militarism means building armies, weapons, and war industries and calling them “security.” These systems need conflict to survive. They need enemies. They need wars.
AI only strengthens militarism by making killing easier, cheaper, and faster.
HUFUD states clearly:
There is no peaceful version of militarism
There is no humane war industry
There is no safe future built on armed forces
What HUFUD Stands For
HUFUD campaigns for universal demilitarisation, which means:
Abolishing armed forces
Ending the war industry
Transforming the war economy into a peace economy
Factories that make weapons can make trains, hospitals, renewable energy systems, and homes. Workers should not depend on war to earn a living.
Peace must be built with cooperation, not destruction.
Leadership and Global Action
HUFUD was founded by Alberto Portugheis, a world-renowned concert pianist and lifelong pacifist. He shows that peace is not only something we talk about, but something we practice through action, culture, and courage.
HUFUD works across continents by:
Organizing world peace summits and forums
Supporting demilitarisation efforts, especially in Africa
Partnering with international peace organizations
Speaking openly against governments and war industries
Why Demilitarisation Is Urgent Now
AI proves one clear truth:
Wars will not become safer with better technology.
They will become:
Faster
More automated
More destructive
If we continue to accept militarism, AI will only increase suffering. If we want a future without endless war, we must dismantle the systems that produce it.
Peace Is a Choice
The world does not need smarter weapons.
The world does not need faster wars.
The world needs demilitarisation.
Peace is not an abstract idea.
It is a concrete choice.
HUFUD exists to make that choice clear—and to act on it.
