The role of artificial intelligence in the contemporary military conflicts

the purpose of the article is to study the role of artificial in military conflicts, to identify the areas of its application and potential challenges associated with it. The research hypothesis is that artificial intelligence significantly modifies the very essence of military conflict. The key method of the research is content analysis of actual studies of domestic and foreign authors, together with departmental documents of specialized organizations. Along with content analysis, the paper uses statistics as a research method. The research establishes that it is too early to talk about the transition of military conflicts to a new stage, despite the development of artificial intelligence in this area. To date, there are many technological, legal and ethical obstacles to the transition to the full-scale use of artificial intelligence in the battlefield. According to the opinion formed among researchers, the way out is the strengthening of international consolidation to ensure such application of artificial intelligence in the military sphere, which would be in line with humanitarian values and norms of international law. The relevance of the article is confirmed by the increased interest in artificial intelligence among researchers, as well as at the state level.
