Publisher's Synopsis
In the age of artificial intelligence, the nature of warfare is undergoing a profound transformation. As AI technologies become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into military systems, they are poised to reshape the battlefield, alter the balance of power among nations, and challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the role of human decision-making in armed conflict.
This book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the implications of AI for modern warfare. Drawing on insights from leading experts in defense, technology, policy, and ethics, it examines the current state of military AI, the key drivers shaping its future trajectory, and the complex challenges and choices facing decision-makers in the years ahead. From the use of AI in intelligence gathering and autonomous weapons systems to its potential to reshape great power competition and international stability, the book grapples with the far-reaching consequences of this transformative technology for the future of warfare and global security. It argues for a more proactive and collaborative approach to AI governance, one that prioritizes human values, international norms, and the responsible development and use of these powerful tools. Whether as a resource for military professionals, policymakers, or concerned citizens, this book offers an essential guide to navigating the challenges and opportunities of AI in the age of warfare.
