The event opens with a keynote session from Lt Gen John (Jack) N.T. Shanahan, the inaugural director of the US DoD Joint Artificial Center (JAIC), exploring ‘the future of AI-enhanced autonomy in military operations.’ As the founding Director of the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team (Project Maven), he pioneered the DoD’s first operational AI programme, advancing the use of AI for military operations, and intelligence collection and analysis.
The conference will then turn to three pressing themes driving progress in this increasingly growing sector: conquering autonomy hurdles; realising autonomous potential; and revolutionary, inclusive, and next-gen autonomous systems.
Speakers taking to the stage include Paul Newman, President, Co-Founder & CTO of Oxa; Varuna De Silva, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies at Loughborough University; and Richard Walters, Lead Research Data Scientist at the Defence AI Research (DARe) Centre.
