Objective: The aim of this research is to present operational applications of artificial intelligence in cognitive warfare and to use its potential in decision-making processes and to deal with the increasing challenges in the cyber battlefield and other battles.
Methodology: This research was conducted in a descriptive-analytical manner. This type of research examines and analyzes existing data and information and seeks a deeper understanding of the subject.
Findings: Artificial intelligence, as an advanced technology, plays a key role in defensive strategies against cognitive warfare. With capabilities such as threat detection, trend prediction, intelligent response, and big data management, artificial intelligence can act as an effective defensive shield. This technology enables rapid and efficient response by analyzing behavioral patterns and identifying abnormal changes. In addition, artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making processes in the field of cognitive warfare by improving situational awareness and enhancing cognitive flexibility. However, the use of artificial intelligence also comes with challenges.
Conclusion: Given the increasing importance of cognitive warfare and the extensive capabilities of artificial intelligence, the use of this technology in defense strategies seems essential. Governments should invest in the development of artificial intelligence systems, while also raising public awareness about the dangers of cognitive warfare. This comprehensive approach can greatly help strengthen national security and maintain social stability in the era of cognitive warfare.
