ROLE OF MILITARY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE EVOLUTION OF CONFLICTS


Lieutenant-general (ret.) Professor Cristea DUMITRU, Ph.D*

Abstract: Artificial intelligence may accelerate the pace of war, but security architecture must also accelerate and deepen at the same pace, building a new generation of capabilities.

The real challenge in military artificial intelligence (AI) is to maintain human accountability and political wisdom while maintaining technological superiority as we move toward algorithmic dominance. Therefore, every technical, legal, and ethical step taken today will shape not only the nature of war but also the future of the international order.

Keywords: military artificial intelligence, security architecture, AI norms, AI in military operations, human control in military AI, hyper-war.
