📡AI in Military and Defence: Strategy, Ethics and Global Security
About Course
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the strategic landscape of global security. From intelligence analysis and surveillance systems to autonomous platforms and cyber defence, AI technologies are increasingly integrated into modern military and defence infrastructures. Alongside technological advancement comes heightened responsibility, ethical complexity, and geopolitical sensitivity.
This course provides a structured and globally neutral exploration of how AI is transforming defence institutions, strategic decision making, and international security frameworks. It examines the evolution of AI enabled systems, the role of human oversight in autonomous technologies, and the implications for cyber operations and information security. The course also explores emerging global governance debates surrounding responsible military AI.
Rather than focusing on operational or classified capabilities, the course analyses publicly documented strategies, policy frameworks, ethical considerations, and institutional approaches adopted by major global actors. Learners will gain a clear understanding of how AI influences military logistics, intelligence processing, risk modelling, and strategic stability, while also examining the legal and humanitarian challenges posed by increasingly autonomous systems.
Designed for professionals, policymakers, students, and technology observers, this course offers a balanced and analytical foundation for understanding AI’s expanding role in defence and global security. All content is informational and educational in nature and does not provide tactical guidance, operational instruction, or classified insight of any kind.
