The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Warfare: A Comparative Study of Ukraine and Gaza Conflicts

Öz

In this research study, we will address how AI contributes significantly to changing modern concepts of war, and how it has become a tool used during and after war, the role of AI not only in intelligence systems and military planning but also extends to air defense systems. We will also review the motivation behind the use of AI in warfare, the tools used and most commonly used in warfare, and their importance in defense and security, and what the difference is between it and the wars we have seen in the past, "conventional warfare" on the battlefield.It achieves its goals quickly and without casualties, unlike conventional warfare. We will also review the seriousness of AI. It is a two-pronged weapon with many positives, but my followers do not find it more dangerous than the negatives for humanity, and finally, we will highlight the implications behind the use of AI in both wars.
