The Very Long Game: Global State of Defence AI

This pre-event will be dedicated to presenting a book published in July 2024 on 25 national case studies of how armed forces of various countries view defence AI; how they are developing AI-enhanced solutions, adapting existing structures and processes, and funding their defence AI endeavours; to what extent defence AI is already fielded and operated; and how soldiers and officers are being trained to work with AI (see free-access volume here). The session will also give a preview of the upcoming Estonia’s Defence AI Strategy.
