Thales is a global technology leader in the defence, aerospace, cybersecurity and digital solutions markets. The company has some of the worlds most advanced R&D capabilities, and files more patents than any other company in Europe in the field of AI for critical systems. With its thorough understanding of the constrained environments encountered in the theatre of operations, Thales is ideally positioned to provide the armed forces, governments and other organisations with robust and dependable systems and equipment that deliver the performance needed to guarantee their technological superiority.
With a focus on cybersecurity, explainability, frugality and ethics, trusted AI leverages all the latest developments in the field of artificial intelligence, whilst endeavouring to minimise its environmental impact.
Thales is a key player in the field of trusted AI. Our experts have developed a form of hybrid artificial intelligence that provides a high level of transparency, cybersecurity, frugality and ethical assurance, unlike many AI systems that rely solely on processing huge volumes of data and consume vast amounts of energy. Thaless AI solutions protect individuals and society at large, augment the performance of defence systems, protect the environment and improve the resilience of critical infrastructure to build a safer, more sustainable world, said Patrice Caine, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Thales.
Thaless AI solutions are used in a range of strategically important applications:
Event security and crisis management: AI-enabled solutions such as drones and their associated control systems make it possible to monitor and analyse crowd movements and suspicious behaviour in real time and control access to infrastructure sites so that potential incidents can be anticipated and managed proactively.
Maritime security: smart sensors incorporating AI technology improve the detection, classification and identification of maritime threats, from unmanned naval systems to underwater mines, monitoring activity at sea and on the seabed to protect communication cables and the worlds key shipping lanes.
Decarbonisation of air transport: AI optimises flight trajectories to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in particular by avoiding the formation of the condensation trails that contribute to global warming. Studies have shown that an estimated 50% of these contrails are preventable. Conclusive tests at several airports have also shown that smart air traffic sequencing techniques can reduce the need for aircraft to enter holding patterns prior to landing, reducing fuel consumption and improving the carbon footprint of the aviation industry.
Passenger experience and fraud prevention: robust, secure algorithms can be used to provide seamless, reliable identity controls at airports, helping to protect infrastructure and keep travellers safe.
Frugal AI with a lower environmental footprint Thales strategic commitment to frugal AI hinges on the use of high-efficiency, sovereign processors and leverages the results of three areas of pioneering research:
Data optimisation: by gathering only the information that is strictly necessary, Thaless solutions reduce the amount of energy needed to store and process huge volumes of data.
Neuromorphic technologies: innovative neuromorphic processors mimic the behaviour of the human brain and use revolutionary new components exploiting quantum electron spin phenomena. They consume up to 1,000 times less energy than conventional systems.
AI in critical systems -satellites, drones, air traffic control systems - support concrete initiatives contributing to the fight against global warming.
Thales and AI Thales is a major player in trusted, cybersecure, transparent, explainable and ethical AI for armed forces, aircraft manufacturers and critical infrastructure providers. The Group files more patents than any other company in Europe in the field of AI for critical systems. It employs more than 600 engineers specialising in AI, and around 100 doctoral candidates are conducting their AI research with Thales. Organised within cortAIx, the Groups accelerator for AI research, systems and sensors (sonars, radars, radios, optronics, etc.), these experts are helping to incorporate AI into over 100 of Thales's products and services. Trusted AI from Thales brings greater efficiency to data analysis and decision support and speeds up the detection, identification and classification of objects of interest and target scenes, while addressing specific constraints such as cybersecurity, embeddability and frugality in critical environments.
Thales is an active member of the AI ecosystem. The Group has strategic partnerships with academic research institutes and with other industry players, in particular as part of Confiance.ai, and has put in place an ambitious charter on the ethical development and use of AI technologies1.
In 2023, the Groups Friendly Hacker Unit demonstrated its credentials at the CAID challenge (Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Defence) organised by the French defence procurement agency (DGA), which involved finding AI training data even when it had been deleted from the system to preserve confidentiality.
For the French defence procurement agencys 2024 challenge, Thales Friendly Hackers Unit invented a new model to detect AI-generated deepfake images.
1 Thales approach to AI is governed by an ethical framework called TRuE AI (Transparent, Reliable, Understandable, Ethical), which is based on the four key principles of validity, security, explainability and responsibility.
