The Department of War (DoW) is seeking a responsible AI-ready force, and DoW educational institutions play a role in ensuring the DoW can meet this objective, according to Dr. Mie Augier and Dr. Jamie Porchia. As AI continues to evolve and get adopted into warfighting and warfare organizations, including educational institutions, education of warfighters can influence both the short-term skills and traits of warfighters and the longer-term adoption of AI in military institutions. The authors aim to provide suggestions for how educators can incorporate AI to educate warrior-scholars, in the context of the potential and risks of AI use. They present challenges AI brings to education and learning before suggesting how incorporating AI into the classroom can help mitigate these challenges and build more AI ready warriors. The article introduces promises and pitfalls of AI when it comes to learning and the centrality of cognitive engagement, before offering suggestions for embracing teaching with AI. The 2025 McKinsey report on the State of AI notes that more than 80 % of respondents say their organization use AI for at least one business function, while also reporting increasing concerns with AI related risks such as inaccuracy and regulatory compliance. One well known risk is hallucinations; researchers from Stanford’s Human Centered AI found that LLM’s produce hallucinations in more than 70 percent of the time (dependent on task). A subtler danger is ‘cognitive offloading’ – the delegation of cognitive effort to AI in ways that reduce active engagement, reflection, thinking
