“AI for defence” is a series of online seminars dedicated to introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) topics that are relevant for the defence sector, hosted by Aalborg University with support from University Carlos III Madrid and the University of Seville, and designed as an upskilling activity.

The focus will be on the potential of AI paradigms such as federated learning and explainable AI (XAI) in defence applications, and on how AI algorithms can be used in cyber-defence.

A certificate of attendance will be given to the participants.

This programme is focussed on:

  • Professionals working in the Defence Industry (up-skilling activities)

Requirements:

  • Master degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or equivalent
  • Current employment at a defence organisation
