Artificial Intelligence at the Operational Level of War

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence at The Operational Level of War Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology with widespread applications. The National Defense Strategy highlights the importance of AI to military operations for the United States to retain an advantage against its near peer competitors. To fully realize this advantage, it will be necessary to integrate AI not only at the tactical level, but also the operational level of war. AI can be integrated into the complex task of operational planning most efficiently by subdividing it into its component operational functions which can be processed by narrow AI. This organization reduces problems to a size which can be parsed by an AI and maintains human oversight over machine supported decision-making.
