Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has taken every possible business, industry and government department by storm. India’s defence sector is not far behind. The rise of large language models (LLM), which are used to power GenAI products, has not left defence forces untouched.
India’s Ministry of Defence set up an AI taskforce in 2018. By 2022, around 40 different GenAI products developed by defence public sector enterprises were in place.
The application of AI-based technology in defence covers many functions and possibilities such as training, surveillance, logistics, cybersecurity, unmanned aerial vehicles and others.
