This study investigates the level of acceptance of e-learning using artificial intelligence in the military education process from students and teachers of Joint Command & Staff College (JCSC). A quantitative approach was the choice to conduct this study, where a questionnaire with closed-ended questions has been distributed among a sample of 240 JCSC's students and teachers. Still, the number of retrieved questionnaires that are valid for analysis reached 207 questionnaires. The collected responses were analyzed by SPSS 23. The results showed that the application of AI and e-learning is witnessing a remarkable development in recent years. The UAE government has a great interest in adopting fourth-generation technologies such as AI and e-learning in its civil and military institutions through allocating comprehensive strategies and budgets for their implementation. The analysis also confirmed that despite the importance of e-learning and the benefits of integrating AI in military education, this type of education, like other methods of education, faces some obstacles and challenges that may limit its use, where solutions must be sought to overcome them and maximize the use of these technologies. It was concluded there is statistically positive significant relationships between the three factors: the current AI and e-learning application; strategies and budgets set by the state to implement AI and e-learning; the availability of critical success factors in applying AI and e-learning in military colleges process and the improvement of flow at the significance level p=0.000 < 0.05. However, challenges encountered by AI and e-learning's application in the military education process are strongly but negatively correlated with the acceptance of AI and e-learning in Military colleges. Furthermore, those four variables explain (98.5%) of the variation and change in the acceptance of AI and e-learning in military colleges. The researcher recommends conducting a study on the requirements for designing and developing an AI system in the military educational environment and examining the possibility of creating a smart AI system that produces and evaluates the exams and monitors the performance accurately.
