About

Zulqarnain Farid is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and defense technology. His most influential work, "Development and use of Artificial Intelligence in the Defense Sector" (2023), with 24 citations, provides a critical framework for understanding AI as both a "multiplier of progress" and a potential destabilizing force in modern military strategy. Farid’s research uniquely bridges technical AI development with geopolitical analysis, examining how major powers are integrating autonomous systems, decision-support algorithms, and cyber capabilities into their defense infrastructures. His contributions have helped shape policy discussions on ethical AI deployment in conflict zones, emphasizing the dual-use nature of emerging technologies. Beyond this cornerstone paper, Farid continues to explore the strategic implications of machine learning in intelligence analysis and battlefield automation. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the responsible governance of AI in security contexts, offering a sobering yet forward-looking perspective on how artificial intelligence is redefining the nature of twenty-first-century warfare and international stability.
