Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says that while artificial intelligence may play a role in future warfare, the outcome will still depend on soldiers and national resolve. Speaking on the theme of how wars may evolve, Singh argues that AI is not a substitute for trained personnel, discipline, and effective military capability. He emphasizes that victory will come from the combination of capable armed forces, preparedness, and the commitment of soldiers, alongside broader national resolve. The remarks present AI as a technology that can support future military operations, rather than the determining factor in winning wars. Singh’s position aligns with the view that human training and operational readiness remain central, even as defence systems increasingly incorporate new technologies. Overall, the statements stress continuity in the importance of soldiers and military strength, even as technology such as AI becomes more relevant to planning and execution in conflict scenarios.
