In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a game-changer across tons of fields, and defense is no different. Governments around the world are diving into AI’s potential to boost national security streamline operations and stay a step ahead strategically. This important topic came to us from The Japan Times in their article, “The growing strategic race in emerging technologies.”

One of the main ways AI is making an impact in defense is through surveillance and reconnaissance. AI-powered systems can handle massive amounts of data from satellites, drones and other sensors to catch potential threats in real-time. Using machine learning, these systems pick up on patterns and oddities that might slip past human analysts, making situational awareness and response times a whole lot better.

Bringing AI into defense is changing how governments think about security. From stepping up surveillance abilities to strengthening cybersecurity AI is set to play a big part in today’s defense strategies. But as this tech advances governments will have to tackle the ethical and legal questions that come with it to make sure AI is used responsibly and effectively to keep people safe.

The tricky part is that not everyone knows how AI systems make decisions. That’s where explainable AI comes in—it helps users understand and trust what machine learning algorithms come up with. Data Harmony is our patented, award-winning, AI suite that leverages explainable AI for efficient, innovative and precise semantic discovery of your new and emerging concepts, to help you find the information you need when you need it.
