Abstract: "Artificial Intelligence is the new revolution, the one who leads in AI - will be the ruler of the world." - Vladimir Putin The evolution of emerging technologies has entered a revolutionary phase. Artificial intelligence is the key factor behind this revolution. Managing complex network algorithms and machine learning are applications of AI. The use of these applications to run different affairs has provided a giant leap towards modernity and progress. However, along with its use for social progress, there is also a negative aspect attached to Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI could enable several military innovations, it is not a military innovation itself. AI has a serious impact on future warfare, especially hybrid warfare. All the five features of hybrid warfare (synergy, ambiguity, asymmetry, innovative disruption, and the battle over psychology) will receive a strategic modality with the use of AIfor a Multi Capability Development Campaign (MCDC). This research will explore the potential use of AI as a tool of hybrid warfare. Practicing AI in asymmetric warfare can be lethal, as it could lead to complete disruption, a hijack upon every domain of life. It has the power to cripple the economy, institutions, and overall social system of the target state. It is necessary to provide an immediate response to this imminent threat in the form of international laws and organizations, which could regulate the covert misuse of AI.

Hypothesis
Artificially driven hybrid warfare is an imminent threat, which could lead to complete disruption both in the military and civil domains. Presently, there are no laws and institutions internationally which could provide relevance and regulate the potential misuse of this technology from a state or non-state actor.
Introduction
Since the discovery of fire by homo erectus during the early Stone Age, mankind has evolved by many folds in the domain of discoveries and inventions. The human brain is in a continuous state of evolution. Considering the invention of the first tire in 1845 to the manufacturing of the hybrid car in 1997, one thing is evident: the cognition capacity of homo sapiens is enhancing day by day. We are in the 21st century now, and...
