“What is happening today in the field of security requires a completely different approach to the role of the state and the armed forces. This is not about anyone suggesting that the military should replace civilian structures. Rather, it is about complementing the state’s capabilities where necessary. We must also remember that modern warfare looks different than it did just a few decades ago. It is no longer only about tanks and trenches, perhaps even to a lesser extent than before. Today, war largely involves modern technologies and cybersecurity, which affect the functioning of our everyday lives. The targets of attacks are no longer only traditional military objectives. Increasingly, they are state systems and critical infrastructure. The past few weeks have shown this very clearly. That is why the military must be present in all domains, because modern conflict is taking place in all of them,” said Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the debate Poland’s Digital and Information Resilience: Challenges in the Era of Hybrid Warfare.
“Every day brings us new challenges. The Artificial Intelligence Implementation Center, because this is what I would now like to address, is part of our efforts to move forward and avoid falling behind. A good example is the implementation of artificial intelligence in Ukraine, which is now very advanced. We must draw on those experiences and on what has already been developed there. I will say frankly: this is one of my major ambitions and one of the three most important tasks for this year and the next. We are talking about areas such as long-range precision strike, drones, and counter-drone systems. Artificial intelligence must be implemented in military management—not only in command structures, but across the entire functioning of the armed forces, regardless of the historical moment in which we find ourselves. Whether the threat of war increases or more peaceful times come, AI-supported military management will be essential,” emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the event.
