Artificial intelligence (AI) is developing at a rapid pace—both the technology itself and its applications. It is becoming unavoidable in both the civi- lian and military domains and will soon impact numerous areas of civilian and military life. In July 2020, for example, countries such as Colombia and Russia applied facial recognition technology, a form of artificial intelligence, to combat the coronavirus by detecting whether someone was not wearing a mask or had a high temperature through the use of thermal cameras and sounding an alarm. That same month, Open AI, a California company leading in AI tech- nology, released the software GPT-3, a text generator that can mimic human creativity to write convincing essays, emails, or tweets. Global AI-generated revenue is projected to climb from US$643.7 million in 2016 to US$36.8 billion in 2025, a factor of almost 60 times greater.
