Action Requested
I am pleased to publish the Defence AI Strategy, which outlines plans to transform the MOD into an 'AI ready' organisation, develop skills and R&D programmes, strengthen the industrial base, and address global security challenges. Alongside this, we are publishing a policy document on ethical military AI use, ensuring robust controls for all AI-enabled capabilities.
Key Facts
- The Defence Artificial Intelligence Strategy aims to make the UK MOD the world’s most effective and influential organisation in terms of AI.
- A companion policy document titled 'Ambitious Safe and Responsible' sets out the ethical framework for AI-enabled military systems.
- Copies of both documents will be placed in the Library of the House.
