Militaries across the world are adopting artificial intelligence solutions to enhance defense capabilities. The U.S. military used artificial intelligence to guide miniature surveillance drones on missions for its special operations forces and to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. It monitors military fitness, forecasts when a repair is needed for Air Force aircraft, and assists in keeping track of adversaries in space. The Indian Army has deployed AI surveillance systems throughout its borders with China and Pakistan. 140 AI-based surveillance systems, including sensors, high-resolution cameras, radar feed, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) feed, have been deployed by the army, according to officials. These are then gathered and utilized by AI with the goal of classifying targets and identifying border intrusions. Additionally, the army has started using cutting-edge military simulators to train its initial class of recruits. Along with increasing their collaborative cyber training, the U.S. and India have decided to hold the first Defense Artificial Intelligence Dialogue.
