Artificial Intelligence, National Security and Warfare:
Fundamentals and Interdependencies

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly important in the realm of national security and warfare due to several interdependencies.  These dependencies are a result of enhanced surveillance and reconnaissance, role of autonomous systems in modern warfare, cyber-security, decisions support systems, weapons systems development etc. Overall, the interdependencies between AI, national security, and warfare underscore the complex and evolving nature of contemporary security challenges. Addressing these interdependencies requires a multidisciplinary approach that balances technological innovation with ethical, legal, and strategic considerations to safeguard peace and security in an AI-driven world.

 

The certificate course is designed to offer participants a deep understanding of how AI technologies are reshaping defence strategies, intelligence operations, and the nature of modern conflict. Through a blend of theoretical insights, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will explore the critical interdependencies between AI advancements and national security imperatives, while also addressing the ethical, legal, and strategic implications of AI integration in military contexts.

Delivery method

The course will be entirely online and will be delivered through a combination of lectures, case studies, group discussions, and practical exercises. Participants will also will have access to online resources, recorded lectures, reading materials, and expert insights to deepen their understanding of the subject matter. The highly interactive sessions aim to give participants a comprehensive understanding of each topic.

Eligibility

The cohort would comprise of 100 fellows. We accept students from an array of academic backgrounds and strive to provide a comprehensive programme that accommodates students with different degrees of experience and background knowledge. Our ideal candidates will have earned an undergraduate degree already or be enrolled in one right now.

Structure

The course is designed to span over 6 weeks, with a total commitment of approximately 5 hours per week. The participants will have to attend 5 classes per week, scheduled from Monday to Friday.
