Description

Presentation: Two short presentations exploring the current and potential application of fusion-derived AI in defence.

Discussion: An interactive discussion exploring AI’s operational potential and the practical steps required to move from experimentation to responsible, secure deployment at scale.

  • Where can AI deliver the most meaningful near-term value in defence?
  • How can defence organisations balance the need for speed and autonomy with meaningful oversight, accountability, and compliance?
  • How can defence AI systems be secured against adversarial attacks, model manipulation, data poisoning, and compromise?
  • What capabilities - data foundations, talent, procurement models, alliances, and governance - must be developed now to deploy defence AI responsibly and at scale?

Moderated by Nick Davies, COO, FusionX
