From Simulators to Solutions: AI in Action's DSET Preview

Join us for a new episode of AI in Action, our podcast series exploring the real-world applications of Artificial Intelligence in defence, training, and critical industries.

In this DSET Preview, host Andy Fawkes brought together three distinguished experts ahead of the upcoming DSET conference, where Halldale is proud to once again serve as media partner:

• Tess Butler, CEO of Ruddy Nice and DSET founder
• Niall Campion, Founder and Managing Director at VRAI
• Alex Smith, Chief Technology Officer, Training Transformation Services at Raytheon UK

The panel delves into practical AI applications, from enhancing simulator effectiveness and data analytics to developing secure solutions for complex training challenges. Using a compelling weather forecasting analogy, Niall explores how dramatic improvements in multi-day weather predictions since the 1960s can be applied to predict training outcomes and optimise human performance.

The conversation also tackles AI content generation challenges, including intellectual property considerations. Alex highlights potential pitfalls - with Taylor Swift making (probably) her first appearance in a piece of military training content!

The panel also discussed:

• Innovative AI methods for processing vast engineering data into contextualised training content
• Machine learning's essential role in analysing simulator performance data
• Critical implementation considerations: data availability, human oversight, IP management, and secure infrastructure

Watch the episode to understand how AI is driving innovation and solving real-world challenges across defence, aviation, and safety-critical sectors.
