Description

Dstl has a requirement to increase its knowledge and understanding of the state-of-the-art in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research around two specific areas - Broad AI, and Machine Assisted Forecasting and Prediction.
For each area, we are seeking a technical deep dive report which should contain:
• An overview of the key technical observations across each AI topic, drawing together the relevant research from both recent publications as well as still-current techniques which may have been known for some time
• A series of observations on the topic, providing commentary on public announcements and / or academic articles made by industry and academia
• Next steps, which recommend further work with Dstl or partners could undertake to better understand the implications for Defence.
Each report should be produced to a high quality and be suitable for sharing with other stakeholders within HM Government, and our 5-eyes international partners.
The activity should be confined to the topics of interest, and be undertaken by technical experts in that specialty. This approach will provide a coherent overview of the topic, with deep technical insight.
