AI warfare
Autonomous weapons systems
AI warfare refers to military operations that incorporate artificial intelligence—from autonomous drones and targeting systems to cyberattacks and strategic decision-making.
The term encompasses both AI-assisted combat, where humans remain in control, and fully autonomous weapons that select and engage targets without human intervention.
Experts debate whether AI warfare makes conflict more precise or more dangerous.
The concept raises profound questions about accountability when machines make lethal decisions.
