Implications of Artificial Intelligence in the War of the Future

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a myth; it is a reality… and it is already influencing numerous aspects of modern life. While AI has the potential to transform many fields, it is not a fully autonomous intelligence and cannot replicate all human cognitive functions. As AI continues to advance, exaggerated myths about its capabilities must be separated from the reality of its current developments to understand its true potential and its impact on people’s lives. AI holds significant strategic importance, both in every day life – by streamlining and automating processes, and in the military domain – by enhancing defensive and offensive capabilities. In defence, AI aids decision-making, threat prevention and counteraction, protects soldiers, and ensures a tactical advantage over adversaries. Overall, AI is a technology that continues to redefine the boundaries of innovation, bringing profound benefits across various sectors and contributing to societal progress.
