Introduction

AI refers to a broad range of disciplines, technologies, and methods that simulate human intelligence and can show intelligent behavior similar to humans. It is employed in several applications, including military, security, aerospace and aviation, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, software development, and robotics. AI’s use in the military is imagined to be in autonomous military vehicles. With the emergence of new technologies every waking second, countries grapple with security concerns, diplomacy, and conflicts; sometimes, these conflicts are virtual and faceless. 

One such concern and disruptive technology is artificial intelligence, a product of the 20th century that has only come to be fully utilized in the 2000s. The concept of “integrated operating” provides a new approach to utilizing armed forces in an era of prudent competition. The Ministry of Defense in the UK launched an integrated operating concept. It claimed that an “era of persistent competition” has ushered in the world alongside a changing character of warfare. 

Emergence of AI in the International sphere

“Artificial Intelligence” emerged with John McCarthy using this term for the first time in a workshop at Dartmouth in 1955 and gained traction thereafter.  The 1970s showed improvements, such as the first anthropomorphic robot being built in Japan and the first example of an autonomous vehicle being built by an engineering grad student. However, it was also a time of struggle for AI research, as the U.S. government showed little interest in continuing to fund AI research. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand, and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more. It is the child of the fifth generation of computers and has taken over most of the world in terms of economy, military, technology, etc. AI’s role in diplomacy and building relationships between nations and between nations and their citizens has been quite instrumental. 

A groundbreaking milestone in military history is a precursor to AI as we know it today: Mathematician Alan Turing broke the German Enigma encryption codes in World War II. He then went on to develop the Turing Test, which is still widely used to determine if a computer can match human intelligence.

The U.S. military also has a long history of experimenting with and using AI. In 1991, an AI program called the Dynamic Analysis and Replanning Tool (DART) was used to schedule the transportation of supplies and personnel and to solve other logistical problems, saving millions of dollars.

The accessibility and efficiency of “generative AI” have been raising concerns about the security of nation-states. Generative AI interacts with various formats like text, image, video, file, etc., to create inputs; this is possible due to the advent of multimodal AI. This makes our interaction with AI even more realistic and creates our dependence on its abilities.
