AI is regarded as one of the key technologies of the future. It offers the potential to significantly improve efficiency and effectiveness in the capability domains of intelligence and command and control. However, the corresponding tools must be designed in such a way that humans can evaluate information and decisions derived from AI and are able to take control. The seminar will present current developments and research results in the field of AI. Particular attention will be paid to the support of operational processes through suitable architectures and technological developments in a multinational environment.
