The Interconnectedness of AI Systems – The Future of Contemporary Warfare

Written by: Ludovico Caprio

Supervised by: Isabella Helion and Belén Padrón Salinas

Abstract

The incorporation of AI in military applications has transformed contemporary warfare, providing unparalleled efficiency, accuracy, and independence abilities. Yet, with the progress of AI systems, the possibility of autonomous weapons collaborating and communicating with each other brings up substantial strategic, ethical, and security issues. This paper seeks to investigate the technological groundwork that allows for AI communication, analysing the latest progress in machine learning and autonomous systems. It will examine how the connectedness could impact battlefield dynamics, decision-making processes, and the potential for emergent behaviours that can improve operational effectiveness or result in unintended consequences.
