The Indian Army is in the process of preparing an Artificial Intelligence roadmap in consultation with subject matter experts in a step towards improving its "mobility and protection", Army Chief General Manoj Pande said at NDTV's maiden Defence Summit on Thursday. Natural language processing, facial recognition, vehicle tracking, satellite imagery analysis and other autonomous systems are among several artificial intelligence projects that are currently underway, he said.
"A tri-services project is being undertaken to develop a high-powered computing AI cloud. We are in the process of preparing the AI road map in consultation with subject matter experts, which will serve as good for the next 20 to 25 years," the Army chief said.
He said the army is also pursuing projects like robotic surveillance platforms, autonomous combat vehicles and manned-unmanned cleaning solutions. "We are also exploring 5G communications and its use in training and operations," he added.
