The Role of AI in Hybrid Warfare: A Case Study of Pakistan's Cybersecurity Landscape

    Technological advancements driven by artificial intelligence (AI) impact social, economic, and military sectors. This research paper explores the relationship between AI and cybersecurity in hybrid warfare. While AI boosts economic development and social betterment, its militarization poses significant risks, especially in asymmetric warfare, where AI-guided attacks can undermine targeted states' economies, infrastructure, and institutions. The paper emphasizes the role of neural network technologies in cyber operations and defense strategies. The absence of legal norms for AI in military actions exacerbates the threat of cyber-terrorism. Focusing on Pakistan's weak cyberinfrastructure, the paper highlights the challenges and opportunities for nuclear-armed states. To strengthen the argument this study implies the case study of Pakistan which faces serious cyber-attacks and cyber operations. Pakistan is known as a theater of Hybrid warfare. So these cyber-attacks and other hybrid strategies can be used against Pakistan to paralyze it.
