Abstract

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Humanity, Warfare, And Societal Evolution examines AI’s transformative role across humanity, warfare, and society. It explores AI’s progression from narrow intelligence (ANI) to human-level AI (HLMI) and superintelligence, emphasizing opportunities and existential risks. The study highlights AI’s military applications, including autonomous systems, surveillance, and logistics, alongside ethical dilemmas like the "black box" problem and lack of global regulation. Case studies, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Israel's Operation Guardian of the Walls provide as examples of AI's strategic value and weaknesses. Speculative risks, including AI misuse, loss of human oversight, and adversarial attacks, are explored in depth. The text also considers future innovations in robotics, synthetic biology, and cyborg technologies, emphasizing the societal and ethical implications. It advocates for international collaboration to regulate AI in warfare, mitigate risks like “Flash Wars,” and ensure meaningful human control in lethal autonomous systems, framing AI as both a revolutionary tool and a significant challenge to humanity.
