The weaponization of artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the logic of today's conflicts: in fact, the integration of Ai into the decision activities of military commands is leading to a change in decision-making processes. Whereas until a few years ago, mission command was supported by human capabilities, qualities, feelings, judgements and values, such as leadership, troop motivation, mutual trust, clear understanding of commanders' orders, threat assessment, timeliness of decisions, today Aiposes new challenges to traditional decision-making models and to the leadership of the chains of command, by supporting human decision-making capability (also made up of instinct and intuition) with predictive models and algorithms capable of taking control of the situation without the need for human intervention, enabling fast understanding of scenarios and the processing of quick and effective decisions. It is still too early to talk about replacing humans with Ai agents on the battlefield, but the fast advances in artificial intelligence and the increased use of autonomous weapon systems (Laws), combined with the fears raised by much of the scientific community (including the Ai creators themselves), suggest worrying prospects that lead to a crucial question: could a human army ever rely on the command of a machine? This paper will present a possible alternative to the risks of the advent of technological singularity in the military: in the context of the debate on human enhancement, it will describe the development of a new model of human-machine relationship, which does not subject the human being to the control of Ai, but offers a new cooperative framework, in which the human factor does not disappear completely behind the artificial decisions of a machine. As part of an evolutionary analysis of military command models, the transition to a different logic of Ai-assisted military command will be described, which requires the practice of collaborative network command and a governance framework of ‘cyborg ethics’ able to ensure meaningful human control and accountability in conducting military operations, incorporating military rules and doctrines into the Ai reasoning process with the aim of creating a truly adaptive system, in order to reduce the risks of intrinsic Ai instability in warfare scenarios.
