Answered by Luke Pollard

The responsible use of AI is part of how Defence must work in the 21st century. We have been transparent about our ambition to exploit AI for a wide range of defence applications. Human ingenuity is at the heart of this transformative review, AI plays an important supporting role. Humans read submissions and use AI to support them in their analysis.
