Summary/Abstract: Wars constitute the vast majority of human history. When and how the prehistoric wars began were the subject of discussion among historians and anthropologists. Social roles were not evident in hunter-gatherer societies except for age and gender differences. With the emergence of agriculture, it is thought that societies are attacking each other's villages especially in times of scarcity these attacks were becoming increasingly organized. Over time, arrows, swords and armor were made. With the use of gunpowder in firearms, the wars became more organized, and the wars we called conventional wars arose. Conventional wars, especially with the industrial revolution, increased their importance. The struggle for power and interest of humanity did not end; on the contrary it has become increasingly intensified and increased and in this case it has laid the ground for asymmetric wars. Terrorism, CBRN attacks, and proxy wars have become the terms we hear more and more every day. Apart from all these struggles, technology has reached such a point that it has begun to be seen in many dimensions of war. In this article, the aim is to draw attention to the use of artificial intelligence in today's wars and the points that are expected to be used in the future.
