## The Evolution of the Relationship Between AI and Defense Once enemies, now allies: leading companies in the artificial intelligence sector, such as Meta and OpenAI, have radically changed their approach to the military use of their technologies. Just two years ago, these companies openly opposed the use of their tools in the military field. This change of course raises important questions about the ethical and strategic implications of the development and implementation of AI in the defense sector. The collaboration between the tech world and the armed forces could accelerate innovation, but also generate new challenges in terms of security and control. ## General context Artificial intelligence is transforming numerous sectors, from healthcare to finance, and the defense sector is no exception. AI systems can be used to analyze large amounts of data, improve the accuracy of weapons, automate complex tasks, and support decision-making processes. However, the use of AI in the military field also raises ethical concerns, related to the possibility of errors, the lack of transparency, and the risk of an uncontrolled escalation of conflicts.
