Gender Bias in Military AI: Implications for Women’s Security in Conflict Zones

The future of warfare is being shaped today by the algorithms and design choices we embed into military systems. Without urgent action to expose and eliminate gender bias, these technologies risk institutionalizing discrimination under the guise of innovation. However, by centering gender equity as a core principle—not an afterthought—military AI can be harnessed not only as a tool for strategic advantage but as an instrument for inclusive and just security outcomes. In doing so, we can ensure that the digital battlefield of tomorrow does not perpetuate the injustices of the past.
