The battlefield today is undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by AI technology, which offers unprecedented advantages beyond the capacities of humans. AI’s capability to make fast data processing in real-time gives military authorities breakthrough edge consideration support.
Using powerful algorithms and machine learning, the future AI technology of the next generation is applied to the data extracted from orbiting satellite cameras and intercepted communications, becoming an effective and accurate support to real-time activities.
AI-mediated autonomous unmanned vehicles for example drones function as the humans' neural net; they do not physically engage in combat but remotely navigate and locate targets, increasing the number of potential targets and enhancing mission efficiency, thus reducing the risks of human losses.
Nevertheless, a bigger role of AI in defense causes side issues that need quick consideration such as regulating autonomous weapons and dealing with cyber threats. Thus, the collaboration between institutions at the international level becomes necessary.
The rapid development of AI provides an array of potential weapons in the military domain, however, ethical, legal, and security aspects must be safeguarded during the implementation of AI if advancements are to outweigh the detriments. With the development of AI, its impact on emerging eruptions of war can not be underscored.
