IDF Information Technology and Cyber Commander Maj.-Gen. Eran Niv on Wednesday said that he expects that the entire military will run on generative artificial intelligence (AI) within a few years.
Speaking at the Tel Aviv University Cyber Week Conference, Niv said, “Artificial intelligence is a phenomenon which is trending and expanding, with a focus on generative AI. This is a revolution which is increasing our capabilities, but in parallel increasing our reliance on digital infrastructure in every area.”
“I estimate that within a few years, every area of warfare will be based on generative AI information. Without a strong and effective digital basis, no one will be able to prosecute a war in any area,” said the IDF cyber chief.
Niv stated, “Without a strong digital basis, we will not be able to manage large operations.”

This is the vision of establishing a digital front for the battlefield.”
Continuing, he stated, “The digital arena will transform all of the other areas of war into being stronger – in the air, in the sea, and on the land.”
