The US and its allies are tinkering with AI to help do some of the most complex naval operations

• The US, the UK, and Australia are exploring the use of artificial intelligence in naval operations.
• Their projects aim to capitalize on AI's ability to process data to make tough missions easier. 

As artificial intelligence becomes more capable and more widely used, militaries are trying to harness it to increase their effectiveness. Recent exercises and announcements show how the US and its allies are turning to AI for help with some of the most complex naval operations in their playbook.

Over five days in October, the British military and industry partners conducted amphibious landings using some 130 personnel, 13 vessels, crewed and uncrewed aircraft, and 50 cameras and sensors to record their activity and gather data for AI products.
