Ep. 004: Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

Tom & Colin provide an update on their preview of the Improbable Defence Skyral platform, at their HQ in London. We discuss how there is a greater demand for realism and scale across simulation and training, which is being supported across a number of UK, US and Nato projects in the coming years. Our guest on this show is Chris Covert, who is an Executive Producer for Microsoft, working on Gaming, Exercising, Modeling, and Simulation projects across a wide range of customers. Chris brings a wealth of experience and subject matter knowledge from his career in developing simulation applications to solve some of our most challenging engineering problems. We ask Chris to break down AI concepts and explain them to people of below average intelligence (like your hosts).

Om Podcasten

The Warfighter Simulation & Training podcast provides a glimpse into the fascinating future that is being built by militaries and government agencies around the world. The current convergence of emerging technologies brought together from key sectors will deliver an ever increasing force-multiplying benefit to the Warfighter, across all domains. Your hosts, two military veterans who, since leaving their respective services, have amassed over 20 years of experience, working with some of the most innovative companies and users in the Defence Simulation and Training space. Our goal is twofold: firstly to showcase the latest technologies, projects and concepts from across Defence, Government and Industry. Secondly, to provide an educational repository for those new to the industry, where complex subjects and acronyms can be demystified and explained. A reference for the rest of us. We interview leaders from government and industry, as well as subject matter experts who can speak with authority on our bi-weekly episodes. In each episode our aim is to break through the jargon and provide relevant and up to date facts and stories for anyone interested in Defence training and simulation.
