Abstract: In this chapter we provide an overview of the impact that AI is having in national security and the new opportunities and challenges that are emerging in the space. For this purpose, we first provide a history of technology for national security. Next, we describe how AI is being used in various national security contexts and the key actors involved in the creation and development of military AI. We go on to discuss how to design AI for the military, especially for national security. We finish by presenting an agenda for AI for national security, highlighting key areas that bear looking into across the globe.
