Welcome to Defence Artificial Intelligence 2025 Symposium!

Building AI capabilities in Australia is critical for the Defence sector. Decision superiority, the ability to make decisions faster and with higher degrees of accuracy, will increasingly benefit from advancements in sovereign AI capabilities and enable Defence to process large quantities of data in complex operating environments. These advancements in AI will provide data-driven performance advantages to the Australian Defence Force.

The Defence Artificial Intelligence Symposium is an exciting opportunity for Defence and AI researchers come together and explore priorities, opportunities and commonalities.

Details regarding program and call for submissions will be released shortly.

The symposium is an initiative of DAIRNet (the Defence Artificial Intelligence Research Network) and is proudly presented alongside the Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

DAIRNet aims to establish and sustain a community of AI researchers working together in an environment that stimulates new ideas and knowledge, and supports evaluation, testing and integration of novel AI technologies for Defence. DAIRNet is an initiative of the Department of Defence and is managed in partnership with the University of South Australia
