Abstract: Information Technology (IT) has already taken the world by storm changing the very base of conventional organizational methodologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the classic inventions of IT believed to the next big game-changer of the world. Its various applications are already known to the world. Soon, it will show its impact on our private and public life. Society or corporate world, its benefits will be prevalent in every walk of our life. The defense and security will also be getting the benefits of AI in diverse ways. But, how will AI impact defense and security or how the traditional ways or procedures in defense and security will be replaced with AI is a much-debated question today. The current thinking of AI’s impact on defense and security is mostly incremental. That is to say, researchers and scholars want to visualize the application of AI in current defense perspectives where the armed forces will look in the same way as today’s arm forces with the same kinds of activities. In this report, AI- embedded, defense, and security-related R&D efforts are discussed along with the future possibility of AI in defense. The article makes it clear that AI has wide many applications that can re-engineer several aspects of today’s arm forces and security activities. Here, a discussion has been made on how AI will have genuine impacts on diverse military applications for enhanced efficiency in battlefields and strategic deployment of the military in different other activities.
