State positioning in European military AI networks: a social network analysis of European partnerships in military AI
Original language description
This study examines the positioning of nations with established AI capabilities within European military AI collaboration networks, exploring their influence and strategic centrality. Applying Social Network Analysis (SNA) to data from a 2023 expert survey (N = 479), supplemented by qualitative insights from targeted interviews, the research uncovers the structural dynamics shaping military AI cooperation. The findings indicate that countries with dedicated national AI strategies in defence leverage institutional readiness to become key nodes in the network, driving both innovation and governance. However, the overall network remains fragmented, with low density and limited cohesion, suggesting unrealized potential for deeper cooperation. The study highlights the pivotal roles of NATO and the European Defence Agency in strengthening integration and coordination. By employing SNA, this research offers new perspectives on European strategic affairs, shedding light on the evolving landscape of military AI governance and technological advancement.
