Artificial intelligence and big data are no longer peripheral enablers of military power — they are the doctrinal core of twenty-first-century warfare. NATO, the EU, and allied democracies have embraced data-centric operations, where superiority is defined by the speed and accuracy of information flows.
Doctrines such as JADC2 and the EU Strategic Compass illustrate this shift: victory is no longer about mass alone but about integration, fusion, and decision advantage.
