AI in Military Decision Support Systems: A Review of Developments and Debates
Keywords: AI, decision-support, targeting, agency, human-machine interaction
Abstract: Reports from war zones underline that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly integrated into military decision-making. Armed forces are developing and employing AI-based systems as part of the complex and multilayered process of decision-making that relates to the use of force. Such uses of AI in security and warfare are associated with opportunities and challenges which deserve further scrutiny. To contribute to ongoing discussions on AI-based decision support systems (AI DSS), this report provides a review of 1) the main developments in relation to AI DSS (at the time of writing in September 2024), focusing on specific examples of existing systems; and 2) the main debates about opportunities and challenges related to various uses of AI DSS, with a focus on issues of human-machine interaction in warfare.
