About this listen
Long before AI and smart weapons, the U.S. government explored a very different guidance system: pigeons. Project Pigeon was a real, classified attempt to train birds to steer missiles using behavioral science. In this episode, we break down how it worked, why it almost didn’t sound insane at the time, and how close it came to becoming a weapon of war.
