Daniel Peder Bagge (Ministry of Defence CZ)

Strategist for Emerging Technology, Military Intelligence

How information is gathered, processed, analysed, communicated, distributed, and utilized has always underlined military planning and assumptions for success in conflict.

Today, in the era of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, there is a clear shift towards sensor-centric, automated processing. Humans are being pushed out from the analysis process and decision-making due to the quantity of information gathered/coming from the “battlefield”. The hyper-speed warfare (or the “hyper war,” a term linking the intensity of conflict with cybernetics) risks making the human factor almost obsolete. To a certain extent, human presence in the loop will consequently become more a question of morality and less of efficacy.
