Abstract

Artificial intelligence has great potential to revolutionize decision-making by providing fast and accurate data analysis, thus providing a significant competitive advantage in conflict situations. This research aims to analyze the use of artificial intelligence-based applications in military decision-making to win modern wars through a qualitative approach. The main focus of this research is to understand how artificial intelligence technologies are applied in the context of military strategy, as well as identifying the benefits and challenges that arise from the integration of these technologies. Data was collected through document analysis and case studies from various modern conflicts where artificial intelligence has played a significant role. The results show that artificial intelligence has great potential in speeding up the decision-making process, improving intelligence accuracy, and optimizing military resources.
