Abstract

With conflicting environments becoming exponentially more complex, it is essential to develop technology that can assist and aid humans.

In this next webinar from the IET AI Technical Network, Kirsten McCormick will discuss the need and opportunities for AI within conflicted environments, whilst also covering potential issues, and identify key areas of consideration that are needed whilst developing and deploying this technology.
