In October of this year, outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden issued the first-ever National Security Memorandum on Artificial Intelligence, which ordered the U.S. military and intelligence agencies to more quickly adopt and deploy artificial intelligence. It was a move that further showed what many global leaders already recognize: AI is now a critical aspect of modern warfare. But as defense departments worldwide rush to integrate AI into their operations, questions continue to linger on how to get the best value from their AI investments and deployments. It’s therefore not surprising that the executive order wasn’t just for the United States to “lead the way in seizing the promise of AI,” but to also “manage the risks of AI”. The press release from the White House also noted that the memorandum was “designed to galvanize federal government adoption of AI to advance the national security mission, including by ensuring that such adoption reflects democratic values and protects human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and privacy.” For Meir Friedland, CEO of RF spectrum intelligence company Sensorz and an expert in AI for military tactics, AI’s potential in defense is massive, but achieving it requires a calculated approach. “AI stands at the forefront of modern warfare, bridging physical and digital domains. But without clear strategies and rigorous safeguards, its potential can easily go unrealized — or worse, backfire,” he said.
