The United Service Institution of India was founded in 1870 by a soldier scholar, Colonel (later Major General) Sir Charles MacGregor. The story of its growth is the story of the growth of the Indian Armed Forces. It was founded for ‘furtherance of interest and knowledge in the art, science and literature of the Defence Services.’

FINAL SCHOLARS PRESENTATION  BRIG PAWAN BHARDWAJ, YSM SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW ON EMPLOYMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT TACTICAL LEVEL

Key Takeaways: 

  • In the realm of military command and control, the utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a sophisticated approach to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making processes. This deployment of AI allows the integration of AI applications to replace outdated software and instead adapt to cost-effective systems capable of reducing operational expenses and constant system updates.

  • As China continues to assert itself as a key player in AI, particularly in cyber warfare, there is a compelling need for others to examine the tactical deployment of AI in response to China's strategic initiatives. This includes leveraging AI to counter misinformation in geopolitics and employing AI in military tasks to effectively profile and counter China's capabilities in intelligence warfare.

  • The incorporation of AI has surfaced as a disruptive and revolutionary technology, presenting unparalleled opportunities while also raising substantial concerns regarding its impact. It is imperative for defence leaders to judiciously incorporate AI technological advancements within their institutions to fully leverage its capabilities. This integration is vital for harnessing the potential of AI in tackling regulatory, governance, and legal challenges, consequently maximizing its influence on operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.

  • The efficacy of AI algorithms is constrained by the quality and nature of the data that is fed into it. The training process of algorithms is vulnerable to manipulation due to the introduction of false data, known as ‘data poisoning,’ posing a significant threat to the integrity of AI-driven military systems. In essence, the integration of AI at the tactical level necessitates a meticulous approach to address these challenges, emphasising the criticality of data integrity and system interoperability in advancing military capabilities while mitigating inherent vulnerabilities.
