Anduril Co-Founder Turns to AI-Linked Gene Editing for Military Dogs

Palmer Luckey, co-founder of defence technology company Anduril, is turning his attention to a US project involving genetic modification of military dogs using artificial intelligence.

The initiative points to a new area of interest for Luckey, bringing biotechnology into the military sphere alongside the AI-supported defence systems and weapons associated with Anduril.

The brief description of the project does not explain how AI would be used in the gene-editing process or which canine traits it would seek to alter. It also provides no details about testing or a development timetable.

Luckey’s connection to Anduril does not, on its own, establish that the company is running the initiative. The information available leaves the project’s organisational structure and potential military applications unclear.
