Artificial Intelligence In Defence

Meta announced making its Llama artificial intelligence (AI) models available to US government agencies and contractors on Monday. The announcement came just days after reports claimed that the company’s open-source AI models were being used by researchers in China for military use. The social media giant highlighted that it will also make its Ll...

The Indian Army is in the process of preparing an Artificial Intelligence roadmap in consultation with subject matter experts in a step towards improving its "mobility and protection", Army Chief General Manoj Pande said at NDTV Defence Summit.

With technology acquiring centre stage in today's world, the majority of the weapons are operated through artificial intelligence, thereby eliminating the need for any in-person human presence, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Bangalore.

India should work on the artificial intelligence mechanism "extremely carefully", said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. He also mentioned that the country must be ready to face legal, ethical, political and economic upheaval due to AI and no one country or a group should establish their dominance on this technology.

The defence minister further said the arrival of a technology is just like the movement of a clock because once it moves forward, it is not possible to walk it back.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will launch the first-ever 'Artificial Intelligence in Defence' symposium and exhibition organised by the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence on July 11 at Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital.

The programme makes use of machine learning to scrutinise a vast cache of data and notice tiny movements or changes that a human might miss.

The Defence Institute of Advanced Technology under the Department of Defence Research and Development has started two short-term online programmes on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and Cyber security.

India and Germany will strengthen their bilateral and multilateral cooperation to combat terrorism and extremism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday after holding extensive talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on enhancing ties in strategic areas, including defence, artificial intelligence and energy security.

Israel unveiled options Sunday for its "combat vehicle of the future" -- a tank with large touchscreens, 360-degree vision and, in one prototype, a video game-style controller.

Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre told the Lok Sabha that the ministry has initiated the process of preparing Indian defence forces in their use of Artificial Intelligence and leveraging India's capabilities in machine learning sectors.

India is considering the use of Artificial Intelligence for national security and military strategic purposes and the government is studying a report recommending the use of technology in aviation, naval, land systems, cyber, nuclear and biological warfare.

In an ambitious defence project, the government has started work on incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the operational preparedness of the armed forces in a significant way that would include equipping them with unmanned tanks, vessels, aerial vehicles and robotic weaponry.

Over 3,000 employees signed a letter demanding Google scrap the Defence Department project for analysing drone footage as they feared it could plausibly help target people for death.

It's clear that the world needs better defences, and fortunately those are starting to emerge, if slowly and in patchwork fashion.
