The Impact of the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Military Operations in Light of the Rules of International Humanitarian Law.

Modern warfare has significantly advanced with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into operations. Through enhancing decision-making procedures, streamlining logistics, and enabling the use of autonomous weaponry, AI technologies improve military capabilities. But using AI to military applications presents difficult moral and legal issues, especially when it comes to adhering to international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL sets regulations that guard civilians and control hostilities in order to reduce suffering caused to civilians during armed conflicts. The compatibility of AI technology with core IHL principles such as distinction, proportionality, military necessity, and humanity is examined in this article. There is still significant worry about AI systems' capacity to reliably discriminate between military targets and people, raising the possibility of unintentional harm to civilians. Furthermore, responsibility for autonomous systems'actions and decisions presents legal dilemmas regarding responsibility and liability in cases of IHL violations. This study evaluates the potential of AI to comply with IHL requirements and suggests strategies for mitigating associated risks. It emphasizes the importance of developing robust legal frameworks and international cooperation to ensure that AI applications in military operations adhere to humanitarian standards, thereby balancing technological innovation with the imperatives of human rights and ethical warfare.
