USES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE SECURITY AND MILITARY FIELDS: BETWEEN THE DEMANDS OF INNOVATION AND THE LIMITS OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the growing uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the security and military fields, focusing on balancing the demands of innovation with the limits of criminal liability. Artificial intelligence has become a crucial element in developing defense capabilities through autonomous combat systems, intelligent surveillance, and strategic data analysis. However, this technological advancement raises profound legal and ethical challenges related to determining liability in cases of errors or violations committed by autonomous systems. The study concludes that traditional rules of criminal accountability are insufficient to address the specific nature of AI, which necessitates reformulating legal frameworks to ensure transparency and accountability. It also calls for the establishment of national and international legislation to regulate the use of such technologies and to strengthen international cooperation to align military innovation with humanitarian and legal principles.
