dc.description.abstractThis study examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by the United States military as a case study. It explores the role of AI, first by looking into the concept of “Revolutions in Military Affairs” (RMA), studying AI’s defining characteristics and the previous RMA that have occurred in history, thus clarifying whether or not the integration of AI into the military operations can be classified as an RMA. The study then continues with an analysis of the two previous Offset Strategies adopted by the United States military, both of which resulted in an RMA and investigates whether the present Third Offset Strategy largely defined by AI can be seen as an RMA. In conclusion, the findings lead to the suggestion that, while AI has the potential to cause a revolution in military affairs and has caused many changes in the global approach to warfare, it is still in its infancy stage, and thus cannot be labelled as an RMA at this time.en_US
