Experts said artificial intelligence was an emerging technology affecting military and civilian domains alike across the globe. They say some strides have been made to harness the power of artificial intelligence to boost the armed forces’ combat capabilities, a concerted and holistic effort is required to exploit its potential and meet the challenges thrown up by other countries in the field.
