Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most disruptive technological field today as it transforms virtually all spheres of life of the modern society, from healthcare, finance, security and defense to autonomous vehicles, social regulation, drug discovery, code development and cutting-edge research on general human-like intelligence. This volume explores topics such as the problems of ethical AI and the prospects of technology reaching human-like intelligence. It includes a broad spectrum of approaches to the field which discuss Artificial Intelligence from the stances of ethics, economics, game theory, defense studies, Computer Science and philosophy.

Before considering the different applications of Artificial Intelligence in defense, it is necessary to analyze the capabilities and differences between defense systems based on Narrow and General AI. Modern opinions say that the Narrow or called by Kenneth Payne Tactical AI, has relatively limited applications in a strictly profiled field. It can be concluded that the advantages of this type of AI in the defense, especially in the speed of decision-making, are likely to be decisive and will make a large part of the systems currently used unnecessary. Furthermore, the balance of power can shift dramatically depending on the pace of development of AI. Offensive strategy is likely to dominate, as the speed of decision-making will provide a huge advantage to the first strike.

AI raises concerns about the relative balance of power, especially with regard to offensive scenarios. The result could be that the dilemma of maintaining the status quo would fuel an AI arms race and increase pressure on the leading countries and companies. It is important to take this into account before discussing the broad speculation about the extent to which AI systems themselves form key areas of international relations - for example, through the need for collective solutions to major social changes in employment or through the impact on the boundary between the public and private spheres. Both raise significant controversy over the appropriate powers of states to monitor and control their citizens. And all this only if at this stage we are talking about narrow AI or tactical weapon systems with AI.
