Study Notes

The Defence Data Strategy

The Army ensures its data is: sovereign; standardised; exploitable; private and secure by design; curated; and enduring.
AI requires large amounts of non-sovereign data, needing appropriate governance to assure provenance and integrity.

Data Curation and Tooling

Data is essential for AI, and its harvesting, labelling, curation, management, and assurance determines AI project success.
The Army needs to grow its existing tooling and expertise to match AI demands.

Data Fabric and AI Readiness

Data utilized across all DLODs increases efficiency and reduces human time and error.

Benefits of AI

AI provides competitive advantage by outpacing the adversary’s decision-making cycle and controlling tempo.
AI drives operating efficiency and effectiveness, enhancing decision-making, reducing cognitive load, and improving outcomes.

AI's Coming of Age

AI's growth is driven by the confluence of technological advancements, particularly increased computational power and data availability.

Ethical and Legal Concerns

The Army must rapidly develop, field, and scale AI capabilities while considering ethical and legal implications.

Central Idea

The Army aims to be a trusted and responsible user of AI, integrating human-centred AI across the whole force for decision advantage.

Approach

The Army must develop globally leading, sovereign technology to defend against AI-enabled threats.
Vulnerabilities in AI development and operation must be surfaced, understood, and developed as a risk calculus.

Counter-AI Functions

AAIC will develop methods to mitigate identified risks and protect against adversarial use of AI.
Obfuscation methods will be employed to prevent adversaries from determining digital footprints.
