The wars in Ukraine and Gaza show us the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) has become integral to battlefield operations.
This technology is used in many ways, from intelligence analysis to targeting, logistics, and communications. It has accelerated the pace of operations to such a degree that the time available for human operators to take firing decisions has been reduced to just a few seconds. To prevent this trend from spiraling out of control, military applications of AI must be strictly regulated.
