AI and the Decision to Go to War: Navigating Future Risks and Opportunities

In Episode 15 of Doctrine Rewired, we explore the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in military decision-making, focusing on the risks and opportunities AI presents when determining whether to go to war. Using insights from the article by Toni Erskine & Steven E. Miller from the Australian Journal of International Affairs, this episode investigates how AI-driven systems are beginning to influence state-level decisions on resorting to force. We delve into critical discussions around automation in military processes, the integration of AI in decision support systems, and the complex ethical challenges that arise as AI becomes more involved in determining the course of military actions. The episode further examines how the rapid development of AI in defense may reshape geopolitical stability and the decision-making frameworks of modern warfare.
