Description Cognitive Warfare (CW) is an emerging concept, but the underlying emphasis on the importance of the human brain in warfare has been here since the very beginning of humankind. The large change came with cyberspace that can provide an attacker with cheap options to influence masses of people. However, it also provides many possibilities for monitoring and subsequent defence against CW thanks to the possible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This paper draws from discussions of SAS-HFM-ET-FE on Early Warning System for Cognitive Warfare, published NATO Science & Technology Organization (STO) reports, and academic literature to offer comprehensive overview of opportunities and challenges of using AI and ML for improvements in CW-related situational awareness and sensemaking.
