The Defence Artificial Intelligence Centre (DAIC) and Team Defence Information (TD-Info) are working collaboratively to explore the DAIC’s reference production models – and associated assurance regimes – to support the delivery of the ambitious, robust and effective outcomes sought for artificial intelligence (AI) applications across Defence.  The project, managed by TD-Info and governed jointly by MOD and Industry, due to complete by end-March ’23, is resourced by volunteers from member and non-member organizations with sponsorship from Chief DAIC.

 Having already improved the draft functional model (original below – next iteration under development) to inform a new AI Joint Service Publication and influence the wider Defence AI Operating model, it is envisaged that the outputs of this work will be applied to AI development and assurance across Defence. The next event – an Assurance Model workshop – takes place on 24 January commencing ay 1100. If you wish to take part – or would like further information about the project – please contact Tony Butler (tony.butler@teamdefence.info).
