Video: NATO on its Data, AI and Quantum Policy

NATO’s data and AI policy unit helps the alliance do more with data and AI via strategy and policy work that helps coordinate efforts across the 31 member countries and NATO itself. It also protects members from use by adversaries and ensures they are used responsibly.

Speaking at the Quantum Summit London, NATO’s head of AI and data policy, Nikos Loutas told Enter Quantum that NATO is investigating how to use data to understand the perception of people and societies of NATO. This can be used to better understand how the alliance’s communication messages and our policies are appealing to the people in our constituencies in the different Alliance members. And then that helps us inform better our public diplomacy policy.

Loutas said that quantum computing is on NATO’s roadmap of emerging and disruptive technologies, and it will use what it has learned from developing AI strategies to apply that to quantum.
