Just as advances in war tech in the past have led to the more "advanced" war machine "fighting the last war," these advances only serve to change the behaviors, rules, and context of any future engagement.
Keeping in mind that war is ultimately a "battle" of resources and expenditures, no one in a position of great disadvantage will invest in that particular effort, but seek a way to circumvent it. Whereas the "winner" has already sunk that cost. (Even without AI, how common are dogfights or air-to-air confrontation in the last 50 years?)
There are ways for the more advanced participant to defeat this game, but so far it has required violating human norms that are held sacrosanct even in war.
AI's advantage might end up being the ability to navigate this evolving game theory, but only if it's able to properly value what's acceptable to human nature and what isn't.
A "kill all humans as a solution to end spam" doesn't work here (unless the AI has taken ultimate charge, which becomes an entirely different issue).
On the other hand, certain near-peer potential adversaries have signaled a willingness to violate whatever norms need be violated to secure victory.
