Abstract
An unjustified large-scale military offensive by Russia began abruptly on February 24. The Ukraine-Russia war is said to show a striking contrast between Russia's old tactics and Ukraine's advanced use of information. AI is being used in pure information warfare, so-called propaganda and social networking, and facial recognition AI is being used to identify soldiers on both sides and to notify their mothers. Satellite networks are used to locate enemy officers, and AI-equipped unmanned drones are used to get there. In a situation where life and death are literally at stake for both sides, the ethical standards of peacetime AI will not apply. It is natural human psychology to hope that our own robots (AI soldiers) and AI weapons will eventually fight on behalf of our children and defeat the assassins (enemy soldiers). Parents, too, have a harsh reality in which the logic of wanting to know factual information prevails over emotional sensation. In wartime, in addition to production testing of new weapons, research and development of AI warfare applications and empirical evaluations are proceeding at breakneck speed. This paper follows the first examples of AI applications and their implications in a full-scale war that has been going on for more than a few months, as well as the ones that caught our attention.
