Absztrakt

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology have significant transformative potential to create next level solutions in improving traditional systems within military and law enforcement. Despite initial scepticism in scaling blockchain technology beyond the boundaries of digital currencies and overcoming dependence on traditional legacy systems, it is evident that the technology, together with AI has the potential to become greater than the internet itself.2 Countries like China and the United States have expressed interest in applying and combining the technologies for improvements and advancements in military and law enforcement areas, such as “cyber defence, secure messaging, resilient communications, logistics support and the networking of the defence Internet of Things (IoT)”.3 As investors and innovators seek to cash in on the merging of two powerful technologies, we have reached the crossroads necessitating a comprehensive research effort to determine best-use cases and utilization practices for military and law enforcement purposes.
