Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to integrate artificial intelligence into the Army’s capabilities.

The Army is focussing on becoming Artificial Intelligence (AI) ready as soon as reasonably practical.

The Army has already established its AI Centre, which is now delivering three macro benefits: accelerating the adoption of AI; governing the use of AI; and engaging widely across international partners, academia, industry and cross-government. The Army is also advancing in the adoption of AI with over 25 projects underway, and more starting each week.
