Artificial intelligence can assist strategic early warning and can strengthen analysis by testing assumptions, checking arguments and exploring possible futures — but human judgement, verification and ethical use remain essential. Can also support wargaming and social simulationsLearning Outcomes
Communication & Cognition: Develop an awareness of how cognitive processes support decision-making and informed judgement. The article encourages readers to question AI-generated conclusions, identify contradictions and test arguments rather than accepting fluent outputs at face value.
Technology: Develop an awareness of how emerging technology can contribute to capability. The article demonstrates practical uses for generative artificial intelligence, including data analysis, research, scenario development, document assessment and analytical support.
Innovation: Develop an awareness of how new approaches can improve existing practices. The article presents AI as a tool that can augment established analytical methods rather than simply replace human work.
