AI Reshapes Warfare: Algorithms Drive Battlefield Decisions, Raise Ethical Concerns
•AI is now central to modern warfare, with the US reportedly using Anthropic’s Claude in strikes on Iran, marking a significant milestone.
•Drones, many AI-enabled, cause 70-80% of battlefield casualties in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, forcing rapid innovation and adaptation.
•Ukraine is experimenting with AI-enabled autonomous drones and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for target identification and strikes with minimal human intervention.
•The rise of "killer robots" (autonomous weapons systems) raises critical ethical and legal questions about accountability and distinguishing combatants from civilians.
•AI's impact extends beyond autonomous weapons to data warfare, cognitive manipulation (deepfakes), and global AI ecosystem dominance, fundamentally reshaping conflict.
