The Conference
This year will mark the 7th CAID Conference (Conference on Artificial Intelligence for Defense). Organized by AMIAD ( Ministerial Agency of Artificial Intelligence for Defense), CAID is the leading French conference on the subject of Artificial Intelligence applied to defense. It will take place as part of the European Cyber Week (organized by the Cyber Excellence Center), which will be held in Rennes from November 17 to 20, 2025.
CAID explores the applications of artificial intelligence in all areas of Defense: Land, Air, Sea, Cyberspace, Intelligence, and Command. The conference also addresses the specific issues related to the integration of AI in these environments, including questions of robustness and qualification of systems, representativeness of datasets, challenges related to biases, explainability and interpretability of models, as well as the optimization of hardware and software architectures for embedded systems.
A Focus on Robotics, System Autonomy, and Frugality
This year, particular focus will be placed on robots and autonomy, which will be major challenges for the weapon systems of tomorrow. AI plays a key role in the development of advanced autonomous capabilities for military systems, posing challenges in decision-making, resilience, interaction with humans, and ethics.
Submissions on learning and planning algorithms for autonomy, sensor fusion, navigation in complex/deconstructed environments, and coordination of robot swarms are particularly encouraged. Consideration in the submission of issues related to resource management, whether concerning energy, data, or computing capabilities, will also be taken into account.
