This is Artificial Intelligence by Thales
In this brand-new podcast mini-series, learn about Thales' approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) that keeps humans in the decision-making loop and how AI affects the world around us.
In critical environments where there is no margin for error, such as defence or security, AI-based solutions can't be the same as those developed for the general public. This is why Thales has adapted AI to the constraints of the environments in which its customers operate, where critical operations require safety, responsibility and compliance with standards, laws and ethical principles. Our approach to AI is known as Thales TrUE AI: Transparent, Understandable and Ethical artificial intelligence.
At Thales, AI is being created for decisive moments.

Episode 8: How to ensure the adoption of Augmented Intelligence in critical systems?
Today, Artificial Intelligence is pushing our technologies to a new frontier. The fast moving digital revolution gives us a glimpse of the potential of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and the risks that come with it. When working in regulated industries such as aerospace or defence, we must ensure that our technologies are certifiable, explainable, and trustworthy while keeping people accountable for critical decisions.

Episode 7: How do we make Augmented Intelligence a reality in critical systems?
Today, Artificial Intelligence is pushing our technologies to a new frontier. The fast moving digital revolution gives us a glimpse of the potential of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, and the risks that come with it. When working in regulated industries such as aerospace or defence, we must ensure that our technologies are certifiable, explainable, and trustworthy while keeping people accountable for critical decisions.
To allow us to solve problems of greater complexity, while maintaining the same trust level, we have adopted a new AI Strategy which puts humans at the centre: Augmented Intelligence.
Two Thales employees based in Montreal and in Quebec City in Canada – Siegfried Usal, General Manager, and Jean-François Gagnon, Human Factors and Cognition Scientist – explain what kind of approach Augmented Intelligence is, and what areas of application they’re working on.

Episode 6: AI in Analytics and IoT
Join Stephen Spellicy, Head of Products and Marketing at Guavus, a Thales company, as he delves into AI, analytics and IoT – key use cases, where AI and IoT are going and why telecom will lead the way. He discusses how best to figure out and predict issues that IoT devices might be facing, and how to get at the data you really need from within your organization and from your IoT devices. He provides examples of how some of the top communications service providers today are using AI today to better analyze the huge volume of data coming from connected IoT devices and sensors into their networks (along with all their operational, customer and business data) and, without manual intervention, make better decisions, provide smarter new services and a better customer experience while reducing costs.

Episode 5: How AI is supporting cybersecurity and can be used for protecting a business from cyberattacks
As in many other sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer in cybersecurity. In an increasingly connected and digital world, cyberprotection needs a powerful tool such as AI, able to learn from new behaviours, adapt to an ever-changing environment and be customised to clients’ needs. Thales IT security expert Olivier Bettan explains how AI can be used for protecting a business from cyberattacks and the different approaches Thales is working on.

Episode 4: How AI embedded in aircraft flight decks is supporting airline pilots
Artificial Intelligence is one of the key drivers for the shift to a more digital aviation sector, and by interacting with other digital enablers (connectivity, big data) is the gateway to more precise, safer flight and more efficiency in the cockpit – as pilots receive sharper, more blended data and information. This all represents an invaluable aid in pilots’ tasks of navigating aircraft from A to B, ever more swiftly and safely. AI is already present on board aircraft and Thales will increasingly embed AI in the solutions we deliver. Everybody is set to gain from this trend across the aviation chain, and for Thales delivering AI capability is also an integral part of the certifiable Thales TrUE AI framework.

Episode 2: Why AI is 'the new Digital' in Defence
Thales AI Expert David Sadek reveals why AI is now the 'new digital' in defence, enabling human-machine teaming from mission preparation to the theatre of operations.
David Sadek explains how AI is present in the entire military decision-making chain, from mission preparation to the theatre of operations, and how this corresponds to the Group's own Thales TrUE AI approach: Transparent, Understandable and Ethical Artificial Intelligence. He describes how “AI is the new digital’ in defence as the key “enabler for human-machine teaming” in such strategic areas as Connected Collaborative Combat. He discusses the challenges of using classified data for machine learning models as well as embedding AI in weapons systems where size, weight and power are limited. He also reviews how humans remain responsible for AI combat decisions.
Episode 1: What's the future of Artificial Intelligence in Critical Environments?
In this first of a series of podcasts on Artificial Intelligence, Thales AI expert David Sadek lifts the curtain on where Thales is heading in the sector for its customers working in critical environments.
David Sadek explains why Thales is developing Hybrid AI for more power and functionality, how Thales is keeping humans in the decision-making loop, and why the company launched Thales TrUE AI -- Artificial Intelligence that is Transparent, Understandable, and Ethical.
In the next episodes, we will be talking about AI in aerospace, security and space. Stay tuned!
