Talks about the next generation of technology, arms, and equipment are dying very quickly and being replaced by the next-next generation. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into emerging technologies has changed the competitive landscape and, by extension, the conflict.

The developments are taking place in all domains and all dimensions. Gone are the days when an aircraft, a tank, or a destroyer was at the centre of discussion by a particular country. Now, every major arms producer is busy doling out something new and different with every passing day. Be it in the domain of developing quantum computers or hypersonic missiles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or modern drone systems, sensors or robotics, space or cyberspace, there is an unending race and competition to surprise others.

Likewise, Generative AI tools are making waves with their speed and ease of use, providing ready-made solutions in minutes. However, the question remains whether AI will introduce complexity and uncertainty during violent military engagements among the major stakeholders, or whether it will reduce the fog of war.

Why do I ask this question to tech wizards? It’s because the technology remains dependent on the input. High-speed processors and sensors can produce results quickly, but what if the input is........
