Today, continued advancements in computing power, microprocessor technology and the availability of big data provide a natural foundation that fuels the interest in AI-enabled devices. The advantage of applying AI in defence use cases can be limited if AI is tied to a central resource. While there have been significant advances in cloud computing, there is a multitude of defence scenarios in which the resulting data latency would render AI-enhanced warfighting capability useless. In this talk we will explore the decentralised AI concept, possible architectures and security considerations of utilising AI at the edge in defence.

The seminar will be held on Zoom. Details of how to access Zoom can be found on their website.
