Also, while addressing the cadets, he said that today is a world in which the security scenario has become complex with the advent of advanced technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous platforms. A world in which you will need to negotiate threats beyond the traditional boundaries of land, sea and air to include space, cyberspace and the cognitive domain.

The Navy Chief told the cadets that the moment you step out of this military academy, you will face an amorphous world that is no longer defined by simple definitions of war and peace. A world in which the threat of traditional war still exists.
