Leads the UK delegation to the NATO DARB, providing expert guidance on implementation of the NATO AI Strategy, including Responsible AI / AI governance, organisational and operational readiness, and strategic risks related to the use of AI technologies in the military domain.

AI promises a once-in-a-generation transformation for Defence, a genuine 'sail to steam' moment, equally disruptive and irresistible - as a leading thinker once put it: fighting an AI-enabled adversary without AI is a recipe for disaster! The Defence AI and Autonomy Unit (DAU) is in the vanguard of the transformation: charting the strategic direction through the Defence AI Strategy, operationalising Responsible AI across UK Defence and championing norms and standards internationally to mitigate geo-strategic risks.

Understanding the opportunities, risks and implications of emerging and disruptive technologies; overcoming policy challenges and developing strategies to accelerate innovation and ensure the UK Armed Forces can make best use of technologies as they mature.
