"AI and Low-Cost Drones Revolutionize Modern Warfare"

India is significantly ramping up its military AI capabilities to keep pace with regional rival China, which invests heavily in AI research. Despite India's strong tech industry and talent pool, its current AI spending is much lower than China's. The Indian military is developing various AI-driven technologies, including autonomous robots and drones, to enhance defense operations. Collaborative efforts with the U.S. are also underway to bolster AI capabilities. However, experts warn that while AI offers strategic advantages, it also poses risks such as misuse for disinformation.
