The Defence AI Centre is currently monitoring over 250 AI-enabled projects across Ministry of Defence. However, AI is a general-purpose enabling technology, not a capability in and of itself. The Department's overall spend is therefore difficult to calculate as cost data is typically integrated within broader programme costs.
