The proposal, perhaps utopian, but contains elements of inventive novelty and practical significance - Nikola Tesla could well have patented it.
He called it: THE SECOND PROBLEM: HOW TO REDUCE THE FORCE RETARDING THE HUMAN MASS - THE ART OF TELAUTOMATICS.

It seems that he correctly saw the evolution of warfare - and gave hope for the transition from bloodshed to wars, which can be called World Olympic Wars, by analogy with the World Olympic Games.
Here is his recommendation:
"So long as men meet in battle, there will be bloodshed. Bloodshed will ever keep up barbarous passion. To break this fierce spirit, a radical departure must be made, an entirely new principle must be introduced, something that never existed before in warfare - a principle which will forcibly, unavoidably, turn the battle into a mere spectacle, a play, a contest without loss of blood.
To bring on this result men must be dispensed with: machine must fight machine.
But how accomplish that which seems impossible?
The answer is simple enough: produce a machine capable of acting as though it were part of a human being - no mere mechanical contrivance, comprising levers, screws, wheels, clutches, and nothing more, but a machine embodying a higher principle, which will enable it to perform its duties as though it had intelligence, experience, judgment, a mind! This conclusion is the result of my thoughts and observations which have extended through virtually my whole life, and I shall now briefly describe how I came to accomplish that which at first seemed an unrealizable dream."
He goes on to talk about robots, drones, and telautomatics, - topics a little unusual in 1900.
Takeaways from the recommendation:
_ it is desirable to mobilize the scientific forces of the Russian Federation for the creative creation and implementation of AI in all areas of the planetary community.
_ the primary goal of Russians is to set the settlement of the uninhabited expanses of the Russian Federation as a training preparation for an inspiring outcome, together with AI, to other worlds.
