The article explores the transformation of military strategy, armed forces management, and combat operations under the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Key aspects of AI integration into the military sector are considered, including its impact on decision-making processes, coordination of combat operations, and the development of new forms of military confrontation. Special attention is given to analyzing practical AI application experiences in modern conflicts, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on this experience, trends in the development of military technologies and their impact on the future of military arts are identified.

The paper analyzes the approaches of leading countries in applying innovative technologies in the defense sector, particularly the strategies of the USA, China, and others, in using AI in the military field. Ethical aspects and potential risks related to implementing AI systems for automating military command and warfare are discussed. The issue of maintaining a balance between the technological capabilities of AI and the need for human control over critical decision-making in the military domain is addressed. The necessity of developing a hybrid approach to AI integration into military management is justified, where AI serves as a decision-support tool rather than a fully autonomous combat system. The importance of developing appropriate ethical norms and control mechanisms to ensure the responsible use of AI in the defense sector is emphasized
