On the sidelines of the summit on artificial intelligence in Paris, The military community met this Monday to discuss the impact of AI on conflicts around the world
President Macron urged France and the EU to intensify their efforts in terms of AIespecially in the field of defense.
But European cooperation comes up against the problem of data sharing.
To be effective, modern algorithms need many different data sets, which weapons producers and national governments are sometimes reluctant to share.
“There is probably a difficulty, but not only in France or in Europe, it is access to data, since we are on classified data, very complicated data”explains Christophe Meyer, expert in AI and technical director of Cortaix Labs at Thales.
“When it comes to sovereign data, obviously we cannot share it as we would like”he adds.
A “vital question”
But according to a commander of NATO, current conflicts, such as the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, demonstrate that The members of the Alliance have no choice but to follow the pace.
“The ability to adapt to the action plan of an enemy is really important. This is what we see in Ukraine, it is therefore a vital question. Without a quick and magnitude answer, c is death “says the supreme commander ally for the transformation of NATO, Pierre Vandier.
“The imperative for the Allied side is interoperability, to make that the 32 allies can work together, with confidence in the data and in their use, with rules of engagement which are included by all. And that the data flows that are produced by the various allies can mix, can participate in the same situation “.
The AI Summit, which ends Tuesday, is already a catalyst for EU military cooperation.
Monday, Helsing, a German company specializing in defense, announced a partnership with Mistral AI, a French start-up specializing in generative AIto develop new generation systems for the defense of the EU.
