Using AI to Spot Threats at Sea - DZone Big Data

Recently the UK Science & Technology Select Committee published a long-awaited report into robotics and AI, and their implications for society. "Artificial intelligence has some way to go before we see systems and robots as portrayed in the creative arts such as Star Wars," said Dr Tania Mathis, the committee chair. Whilst she is, of course, right, that isn't to say that ground isn't being made in AI applications in the military. A good example of this is the recently prototyped product from Roke Manor Research as part of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL). The device, known as STARTLE, utilizes a range of AI techniques to monitor and evaluate threats at sea.
