Promising Areas оf Application оf Artificial Intelligence in Military Activities

The topic of implement artificial intelligence into military activities is becoming extremely relevant in the context of the rapid development of technology and the changing nature of modern armed conflicts. Ignoring these trends is fraught with technological lag and a decrease in the state’s defense capability. Real-life examples of the use of intelligent systems in combat conditions indicate the beginning of a new era in military affairs. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively analyze the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in the military activities of the Russian Federation and formulate recommendations for overcoming existing organizational, legal and personnel barriers. The scientific significance of the research lies in the systematization of existing approaches to the integration of AI into the military sphere, the formation of theoretical foundations for the adaptation of organizational structures and legal regulation. Practical significance is shown in the development of specific recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of defense structures through the use of artificial intelligence technologies. The main results and conclusions of the research work are the next. As a result of the study, measures were proposed to reform the organizational structure of the command and control of troops, develop human resources, form an adequate regulatory framework and expand the interaction of the army with the scientific and industrial community. Special attention is paid to the issues of safety and responsibility in the implementation of intelligent systems. The need for a multidisciplinary approach and constant adaptation of standards to technology development is emphasized. The scientific novelty of the work is the development of a comprehensive model for the integration of artificial intelligence into the military structures of the Russian Federation, taking into account organizational, personnel and legal aspects. For the first time, a phased introduction of AI technologies has been proposed, depending on the level of readiness of troops and infrastructure, as well as mechanisms to minimize the risks associated with the autonomy of intelligent systems. The research results can be used for the practical transformation of defense structures in the digital age.
