Artificial Intelligence in National Security: Opportunities and Risks

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force in national security, offering unprecedented opportunities for enhancing defense capabilities, intelligence analysis, and operational efficiency. However, the integration of AI in national security also presents significant risks, including ethical dilemmas, cybersecurity threats, and the potential for misuse. This article explores the dual facets of AI in national security, examining both its potential benefits and inherent challenges. Through a detailed analysis of current applications, potential future developments, and associated risks, this study aims to provide a balanced perspective on the role of AI in shaping the future of national security.
