The article examines the impact of artificial intelligence on modern warfare. In the context of rapid technological progress and the increasing dependence of the armed forces on new technologies, artificial intelligence is becoming an important tool in strategic planning and tactical operations. The study covers various aspects of its application, including process automation, processing and analysis of large amounts of data, as well as its impact on real-time decision-making.
The article also considers ethical and legal issues arising from using artificial intelligence in military conflicts, including responsibility for actions taken based on algorithmic decisions. The article ends with conclusions about the future use of artificial intelligence in armed conflicts, as well as recommendations for further research in this area.
