For example, Ukrainian Defense Forces officers utilized AI technology during the battles for the liberation of Kherson in the fall of 2022. They employed this technology for gathering and synthesizing data, particularly regarding the psychological state of russian occupiers amidst regular strikes by Ukrainian HIMARS.
As emphasized by IISS, this was an example of "effective utilization of limited resources."
Furthermore, AI was utilized for counterintelligence measures, particularly for assessing which Ukrainian military targets and key personnel could become the focus of russian attention. Also, for safeguarding Ukrainian communications in cyberspace.
In this example, we see that artificial intelligence can act not only as a kind of "defensive" technology, which allows increasing the enemy's losses. AI can also be an "offensive" technology, allowing to anticipate enemy actions and stay "one step ahead."
In an "offensive" context, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also utilized artificial intelligence technology during recent battles in the Gaza Strip.
It is asserted that Israeli military personnel utilized AI for the operation of automated management systems codenames Evangelie and Lavanda, tasked with identifying priority targets for strikes and assessing probable enemy actions.
