    Discover the six principles that shape how Thales in the UK will design, integrate, assure and evolve capability.

Thales’ UK Chief AI Officer, Ajay Chakravarthy, recently joined the opening panel at the Responsible AI Summit, alongside leaders from the Financial Times and Infosys to discuss the boardroom questions shaping enterprise AI. Topics included measuring AI investment, productivity, change management, the EU AI Act and ensuring trustworthy deployment of Agentic AI with proper governance and safeguards.

“AI will not be won by models alone” emerged as a key insight, with success depending on connecting AI to mission outcomes, engineering trust from the start and creating systems that can evolve. 

This approach reflects the Thales in the UK Technology Strategy and its Connect. Evolve. Endure. framework: mission-led, sovereign, digital, trusted, connected and continuously evolvable. Through cortAIx, these principles are being translated into ethical, explainable and operationally effective AI for defence, security and other critical environments.
