Abstract
The aim in this chapter is to explore the current situation in terms of the Russian
military drive to utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance its offensive cyber operations. It firstly considers why the Russian military puts such emphasis on the need
to develop an AI-enhanced offensive cyber capability. The concentration here is on
the strategic level use of this particular capability – against state adversaries – rather
than at the operational or tactical levels. It also focuses only on the offensive capabilities of AI-enhanced cyber, not the defensive. Finally, this chapter will consider how
the ability of the Russian military to engage in AI-enhanced offensive cyber operations
will have been affected by the fall-out from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
