On 31 August 2022, a workshop on Disruptive Technology (EDT) and Defense: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be held at the CTU Rectorate. This workshop is organized by the DefSec Innovation Hub for the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, with the support of the Industrial Cooperation Section of the Ministry of Defense and hosted by the Czech Technical University.

 The current critical security situation and the exponential development and advent of modern disruptive technologies have shown that many NATO armies do not have effective mechanisms for communicating with industry and academia. The Army of the Czech Republic approached this challenge by organizing a series of workshops focused on artificial intelligence and its application in state defense.

 The August workshop brings industry and academia from across the transatlantic world to the table to show "what already exists" and find ways to stay ahead of the enemy. The seminar is not public and participation is by invitation only. Representatives of the private sector and academic workplaces will have the opportunity to address the top management of the Czech Armed Forces, the director of the MoD sections, the commanders of the operational headquarters and the chiefs of individual types of troops during this seminar. They will be able to share their experiences with them and present specific solutions. The possibilities of your participation are outlined below. Due to limited capacity, registration is possible until 30.6. If you are interested, please register and ask questions at kristina.soukupova@dsih.org.
