Innere Fuehrung (InFü) is based on the model of the responsible ‘citizen in uniform.’ It has been the intellectual foundation and leadership concept of the Bundeswehr since its founding. Sooner or later, however, the further development of artificial intelligence (AI) will pose challenges because technological progress threatens the final responsibility of humans. This article does not argue against the use of AI as such. Its purpose is to sensitize military and political decision-makers so that InFü does not become a naively derived and thus determined parameter of technological development in the future. The security policy environment is deliberately included. In this way, AI can become a great opportunity to ensure the operational readiness of the armed forces and, at the same time, to promote the maturity of citizens in uniform with their duty to always face up to their own ethical responsibility. The Bundeswehr, and especially its educational and training institutions, are facing their greatest test—not only with regard to the professional level of information and knowledge in scientific-technical and socio-political-cultural fields! Education and well-considered, value-oriented training are the order of the day across all ranks.
