Summary/Abstract: We are in the year 2040, when the artificial intelligence powered systems represent the weapons of choice in military conflicts. The confrontations are less visible in physical environment, but the amount of related information is much more extensive and generated by both humans and machines. The pace of operations is beyond the human ability to absorb, interpret and make complex decisions. HUMINT has adapted by calling a “smart friend” in support. This friend is nobody else than Artificial Intelligence – AI. When your interlocutor could be an AI-assisted human being or even an independent AI system, it is mandatory to use the “smart friend” to enhance HUMINT capacity to engage with such counterpart. This scenario-based article emphasizes the use of AI-powered HUMINT abilities to sense, reason, engage and learn to obtain information in order to identify the enemy in a future, technologically saturated, operational environment.
