AI for Military Decision-Making: Harnessing the Advantages and Avoiding the Risks

As artificial intelligence reshapes the battlefield, military leaders are under pressure to act faster and smarter—but not without risks. This paper explores how AI decision support systems can aid commanders by integrating vast amounts of data, while cautioning against overreliance and underestimating the limits of technology. It calls for thoughtful deployment, proper training, and organizational safeguards to ensure AI enhances—rather than confuses—critical military decisions. Ultimately, judgment, not just algorithms, must remain at the core of warfare.
