…FCAS is a joint development program involving the France, Germany and Spain, and will include both manned and unmanned combat aircraft. These aircraft will require advanced, safety-critical, AI-driven flight control software. According to Bantegnie, AI techniques are attractive in these defense applications because of the requirement for sophisticated maneuvers, and cooperation between unmanned drones and manned fighter planes. “That’s the interest, and there are many technical hurdles to implementing that in a safe and reliable fashion,” Bantegnie says. Those hurdles include issues that can lead to AI system failures—for example, when bad weather conditions affect image recognition. The second issue…

…identify which regions within the chosen economies (the US, Germany, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, and Australia) will be hardest hit by the ongoing automation of the manufacturing sector. Since 2010, the global stock of robots in the industry has more than doubled: as many robots were installed in the past four years as over the eight previous. Robotics in China China presents a big opportunity for growth in automation. China already accounts for a fifth of the world’s industrial robots, with every third new one being installed there. Beijing “is investing in robots to position itself as the global…
