Technical Report - Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence and their Impact on Defence

There have recently been a variety of high-profile demonstrations of artificial intelligence (AI) — with significant progress being made in fields as diverse as self-driving cars, game-playing machines and virtual assistants. In this report we discuss some of the recent breakthroughs in AI research, and explore some of the opportunities these provide within the Australian Defence Force (ADF) context. This paper is intended to contribute to both the dialogue around the use of AI in the ADF, as well as to provide a useful resource for ADF members to enhance their education and understanding about the technologies of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on deep learning.
