Artificial intelligence is transforming defense systems and opening up new operational possibilities. But in critical environments, the challenge is no longer just to develop high-performance models: it is to deploy AI that is reliable, explainable, secure, and under control—AI capable of supporting the men and women in the field.

During this presentation, you will learn about the vision of cortAIx, Thales’ AI accelerator, and its role in transforming innovation into concrete operational capabilities. You will explore the challenges associated with integrating AI into defense systems: meeting field requirements, accelerating the development of new capabilities, and ensuring robust and controlled technologies.

This will also be an opportunity to review the tools, methods, and computing infrastructure that enable the design, development, testing, and deployment of these AI models in operational environments.

Finally, you’ll discover how Thales is anticipating the next major evolution in engineering practices with agent-based AI: both the opportunities it offers and the measures needed to build trustworthy agent-based AI.
