The self-styled "Living Nostradamus" has set out a chilling vision of howfuture warscould be fought, and it has nothing to do with armies, weapons or territorial conquest.
Brazilian futurist Athos Salomé, 39, who claims to have predictedCovid-19, the death of Queen Elizabeth II and cyber attacks at the Paris 2024 Olympics, saidthe next phaseof global conflict would be fought not on the battlefield but in the invisible world of data, satellites and artificial intelligence.
Salomé predicts that warfare will shift away from "soldiers, tanks and territory" towards a new form of conflict he describes as "selective intelligence blackouts" in which enemies target the systems nations rely on to understand the world around them.
The hallmark of this new kind of conflict, he argues, would be "coordinated failures across climate forecasting systems, air defence networks, orbital monitoring and civilian communications" - attacks designed not to destroy but to deceive. In extreme cases, he warns, entire satellites could vanish from tracking systems, while radar and military AI platforms would generate false readings.
"The repercussions would be catastrophic," Salomé said. "It wouldn't be required anymore to annihilate a superpower — only to make it see the world in the wrong way for a few precious hours."

The concept of high-tech conflict is not entirely hypothetical, reported Ladbible.
MPs have already raised concerns about a growing number of so-called "grey zone" attacks on UK soil linked to alleged Russian mercenary groups, while drones, disinformation campaigns and hacking operations are all being deployed in the ongoing US-Iran war.
Salomé argues the building blocks are already visible: nations competing to dominate artificial intelligence, a new generation of low-orbit spy satellites, self-piloting drone fleets, hypersonic detection platforms and an ever-escalating campaign of cyberattacks.
