AI Revolution and Warfare: A New Paradigm Shifts in Defence Procurement, Restructuring, Training, and Recruitment

The war in Ukraine and Israel's successful operations have demonstrated the apparent shift in military operations, strategic defence spending, and innovations. Drawing parallels to the industrial revolution and how it slowly transferred military procurement, training, and deployment, the current study also highlights the AI revolution and the rapid transformation needed to ensure nations have the resources, training, procurement, and planning to guarantee deterrence. It is ultimately argued that many nations' future success in deterring the new asymmetrical warfare is directly tied to pivoting quickly to a new revolutionary restructuring of their militaries and security apparatus.
