The question of whether artificial intelligence can develop without assistance is a common one, as AI’s popularity continues to rise. Another relevant topic is whether artificial intelligence will replace human commanders in the army. While AI can optimize processes and perform tasks in dangerous situations, the human factor remains crucial for soldiers’ effectiveness. Factors such as leadership, morality, initiative, creativity and endurance are essential for success and the motivation of commanders is responsibility for their soldiers. Additionally, the commander’s influence on organizational culture makes them irreplaceable by AI in the military
