DESCRIPTION:
Data science, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are at the top of NATO’s political and military agenda. Enhanced situation awareness and data-driven decision-making are among NATO’s strategic ambitions requiring a significant increase in data science and AI efforts across the Alliance and in particular in ACT, which is leading many of these transformational activities.
The DS&AI section provides a broad spectrum from strategy and policy development and support, to technical delivery and implementation to HQ SACT and the NATO Enterprise. In addition to serving as the centre of gravity for HQ SACT’s efforts in advancing data centricity and integrating rapidly changing technology related to data exploitation, the section has developed substantial influence inside NATO and is regularly invited to offer policy and technical expertise.
SACT’s number one priority is digital transformation, which is all about becoming data driven and data centric. The DS & AI section is an important organizational element of HQ SACT contributing directly and every day to digital transformation. It plays a major role for NATO’s establishing Data Science and AI as enabling capabilities for 21st Century warfare.
The DS & AI section has a multitude of responsibilities within HQ SACT and the broader NATO Enterprise. Examples include: strategy and policy development; implementation of Data Exploitation and AI in NATO; developing and strengthening a NATO DS & AI community; trusted agent data science and artificial intelligence consulting; support to HQ SACT directorates; support to NATO Enterprise entities; rapid prototyping to assist staff officers with refining requirements.
