AI in Defense: Strategy, Culture, and the Path to AI Readiness

Artificial Intelligence is transforming defense operations, from enhancing situational awareness to optimizing logistics and decision-making. However, AI adoption is not just a technological challenge—it requires cultural and organizational change.
This fireside chat will explore the key differences between AI in government and industry, the pillars of AI readiness, and what it truly means to “own” data. Our panelists will discuss the challenges of workforce development, balancing innovation with security, and overcoming skepticism to ensure AI is seen as an augmentation tool rather than a disruption.
How can defense organizations drive AI adoption at speed and scale while ensuring ethical and effective implementation? What steps must be taken now to remain competitive in an era of rapid technological advancement? Join us for an insightful discussion on the future of AI in defense.
Presented as part of Altair's Future.Industry 2025 conference.
