O emprego da inteligência artificial no processo de planejamento conjunto: Possibilidades e limitações para apoio ao planejador

Abstract

In complex environments, such as a military conflict, the planning process requires planners to make a significant effort to analyze and synthesize a large amount of information. The use of up-to-date technology not only enhances this process but also accelerates it. The objective of this research is to investigate the possibilities and limitations of employing Artificial Intelligence in Stage 1 of the Joint Planning Process. To this end, the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence are identified and tested in simulated scenarios during the phases of this stage of the planning process, where gaps for employing this technology are observed. To reinforce the feasibility of its use, the research investigates how other countries utilize Artificial Intelligence in their planning processes, finding that this technology is already employed, despite its use not being foreseen in doctrinal manuals. After the experimental tests conducted, it is concluded that the use of Artificial Intelligence during the Joint Planning Process is feasible, identifying several advantages, such as improved analysis and synthesis when faced with a vast amount of data and a complex operational environment, accelerating the process to gain an advantage over the enemy, and reducing harmful human biases. However, limitations are identified that need to be known by the planner to prevent the generated information from causing errors and failures in decisions.
