ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CONTEMPORARY CONFLICTS – THE EXAMPLE OF THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

Summary/Abstract: The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military-security sector is an indispensable field of analysis when talking about modern conflicts. The human kind is witnessing a technological revolution that, year after year, involves more and more countries that are striving to follow innovation programs with the aim of adequately responding to modern security challenges at the global, regional and local levels. This paper examines the identification and use of AI-based systems in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since October 2023. In the introductory part of the paper, the authors provide a brief historical overview of Israeli-Palestinian relations, which serves as the context for further analysis. Furthermore, the authors will define AI and its role in the military sector, after which specific examples from the conflict will be analyzed, building on this theoretical framework. The aim of the paper is to use descriptive and explanatory methods of analysis and synthesis to show how, when and to what extent AI-based systems are used in military operations, specifically using the example of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Thus, the authors analyze contemporary aspects of warfare and draw conclusions about security consequences. The rationale for addressing this topic theoretically lies in the need to examine current events and processes from the perspective of the social sciences and humanities, especially when it comes to topics that have not been or have been insufficiently analyzed. Through a qualitative analysis of relevant literature and official documents, the authors will collect data in order to synthesize the latest research on the topic.
