Dassault Aviation and Thales are partnering through the AI accelerator cortAIx. Their goal is to create AI solutions that are controlled, supervised, and sovereign for the defense aerospace sector. On November 25, at the Adopt AI International Summit in Paris, Eric Trappier of Dassault Aviation and Patrice Caine of Thales signed an agreement. It covers key mission tasks like observation, analysis, decision-making, planning, and control. “This partnership is reflected in research and innovation programmes dedicated to the collaborative air combat of the future, with a view to incorporating AI into aeronautical defence systems. It is the culmination of strategic discussions launched by Dassault Aviation and Thales’ AI accelerator, cortAIx, and illustrates our shared commitment to trusted, sovereign and controlled artificial intelligence for the armed forces,” says Pascale Lohat, Chief Technical Officer at Dassault Aviation.
