The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Defense Strategies

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into defense strategies represents a transformative shift in modern military operations. This paper examines how AI technologies, including machine learning, data analytics, and autonomous systems, are reshaping defense tactics and strategies. It explores the potential advantages of AI, such as enhanced situational awareness, predictive maintenance, and optimized resource allocation, which can lead to more effective and efficient defense mechanisms. Conversely, the paper also addresses the challenges and risks associated with AI in defense, including ethical concerns, the potential for increased vulnerability to cyber-attacks, and the implications of autonomous weaponry. By analyzing case studies and recent advancements, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI is influencing defense strategies and to offer recommendations for integrating AI technologies while addressing associated risks.
