IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 | Special Session 5: AI, Cyber Defence and Future Warfare

Defence establishments around the world are grappling with the implications of advances in technology, including artificial intelligence, and their implications for cyber defence and the future of warfare. New technologies in this area could improve defence capabilities for all armed forces, though the gains are unlikely to be distributed equally. At the same time, all governments continue to face challenges in cyberspace including the need to defend against both cyber and information operations. This special session will consider how countries are approaching these challenges and how they are affecting geopolitics.
