ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the major parts of military surveillance across the world in this Twenty-first century. It helps the armies to use drones, facial recognition and spyware to track enemies, monitor borders, detect threats and make quick operational decisions. AI is also used to analyze satellite imagery and even predict patterns of insurgent, terrorist activity or hostile activities. Some systems can even coordinate multiple surveillance devices simultaneously, providing commanders with detailed situational awareness. This system operates 24/7 and processes massive amounts of data quickly and assists in decision making faster than human analysts. Though it gives speed and accuracy, it may cause mistakes sometimes. AI systems are also vulnerable to hacking, which results in stolen Intelligence, manipulated operations or unintended escalation of conflicts. For example in Libya “The Turkey's Kargu-2” drone attacked a person without human control and in India Pegasus spyware, a scandal revealed illegal surveillance of Journalists and activists. AI misuse in countries like Israel and the United States also led to civilian harm which breaches of privacy and serious civil liberties.
