The military community met this Monday to discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence on conflicts around the world.
This conversation was organized on the sidelines of the AI summit in Paris. It notably highlighted one of the main obstacles: data processing.
To be effective, the algorithms require many different datasets, which arms producers are reluctant to share.
"There is probably a difficulty, but not only in France or in Europe, it is access to data, because we are dealing with classified data, very, very, very sensitive data," said Christophe Meyer, AI expert and technical director of cortAIx Labs.
But according to a NATO commander, current conflicts, such as Russia's massive invasion of Ukraine, show that members of the alliance have no choice but to keep pace.
“The ability to adapt to the enemy’s plan of action is very important. We see it in Ukraine. So, you know, it’s a vital issue,” explained Pierre Vandier, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation.
The accepted use of AI in modern society coincides with an increased presence of artificial intelligence in current warfare. However, its use remains to be regulated, particularly in the case of automated weapons, which are changing the way wars are waged.
