Artificial Intelligence in the Military: An Overview of the Capabilities, Applications, and Challenges

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a reality in today’s world with the rise of the 4th industrial revolution, especially in the armed forces. Military AI systems can process more data more effectively than traditional systems. Due to its intrinsic computing and decision-making capabilities, AI also increases combat systems’ self-control, self-regulation, and self-actuation. Artificial intelligence is used in almost every military application, and increased research and development support from military research agencies to develop new and advanced AI technologies is expected to drive the widespread demand for AI-driven systems in the military. This essay will discuss several AI applications in the military, as well as their capabilities, opportunities, and potential harm and devastation when there is instability. The article looks at current and future potential for developing artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly in military applications. Most of the discussion focused on the seven patterns of AI, the usage and implementation of AI algorithms in the military, object detection, military logistics, and robots, the global instability induced by AI use, and nuclear risk. The article also looks at the current and future potential for developing artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly in military applications.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Defense System Within the Framework of the Policy Making Cycle: The Case of the United States

“…For instance, BAE Systems is a British multinational arms, security and aerospace company and its base is in London. DARPA and BAE Systems have collaborated on the AI systems (CHASE) to identify cyber threats to large enterprise networks (Roth, 2019).…”

Synergy between AI and Optical Metasurfaces: A Critical Overview of Recent Advances

“…[11]. Other kinds of AI perform different optimizations, including those of design and production of goods, telecommunications [12] and traffic [13], sensing [14], aerospace [15] but also basically all branches of engineering [16][17][18], industry [19], customer services [20], banking and finance [21] including the stock market [22], but also cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology [23], education [24], robotics [25], military [26] and, obviously, scientific research [27]. It appears that practically no area of humanity is left entirely without AI.…”

Design and Construction of A Remotely Controlled Multy-Tasking Chain-Wheel Combat Robot

“…By using artificial intelligence, the control system is expected to reduce the resulting error value compared to conventional control systems. In the military sector, several developed countries have implemented robots as a modern warfare threat to assist in combat because they are considered more effective and efficient in detecting and destroying targets, saving personnel energy and the opponent does not know who is controlling them (Rashid et al, 2023). Facts show the use of robots for fighting by developed countries, for example the USA used the MQ-9 reaper drone to shoot Iranian warlord General Qassem Soleimani in the Baghdad area of Iraq, and was involved in several battles in the Middle East, China once sent a sea glider drone (Sayler, 2020).…”
