Introducing massively AI and Big Data technologies in military capabilities and cognitive processes is considered today as a paradigm change, a new revolution in military affairs. In a fully connected world, where the lines between physical and informational domains are more and more blurred, Artificial Intelligence will make the world far more global than it is today and more intelligent, but harder to manage and anticipate. Artificial Intelligence will also make the world more vulnerable to cyber threats, and that has to be a leading concern in the development of augmented systems. Thanks to Big Data and AI, future operations hold the promise of real-time information gathering, fusion and sharing on one hand, and on the other hand of an increase or even a substitution of human thought. This is the prospect of a real technological assistance in the management of complex crises that we are likely to face in the long term. In coherence, military decision cycles will need to be largely up-dated to make them more competitive during the compressed activities of future wars.
