The introduction of artificial intelligence has brought a radical change in businesses across industries. From improving business outcomes to better-delivering customer experience, AI has a deep impact on every walk of life and work while taking the world to the next level. The defence and security industry is also not spared from the likes of this disruptive technology. It can bring a profound transformation to improving national security, driving economic prosperity and enhancing public safety. AI has the potential to see beyond the horizon and help personnel in safeguarding national integrity.
Already, many countries' defence departments are using AI, robotics and drone technology in many defence applications. The U.S. defence department, for instance, aims to build a more autonomous strength, pairing AI-powered systems and robotics with human military personnel to enable faster decisions and better combat results. A growing cohort of AI startups and innovators are now seeking opportunities for their technology in defence contracting.
As they leverage advanced technology to come up with innovative solutions, here are 5 AI startups that are empowering the defence and security industry.
