Abstract(s)
A liderança do conhecimento e definição de tendências de evolução para as tecnologias
de Inteligência Artificial (IA) concentra-se, fundamentalmente, na sociedade civil. A forte
convergência das comunidades big data, poder computacional e investigação em algoritmos
de machine learning, e as dinâmicas daí resultantes, representam um desafio respeitante à
Segurança e Defesa.
Esta investigação teve, assim, como objetivo propor contributos para melhorar a
exploração das tecnologias de IA em operações militares pelas Forças Armadas (FFAA)
portuguesas, pautando-se, metodologicamente, por um raciocínio indutivo, uma estratégia
qualitativa e um desenho de pesquisa tipo estudo de caso, e associadamente, nas análises
documental e de conteúdo das entrevistas a 22 entidades do Ministério da Defesa Nacional
(MDN), das FFAA e do meio académico e empresarial.
Dos resultados, conclui-se que: o MDN e as FFAA estão envolvidos em projetos no
âmbito da IA; a Base Tecnológica e Industrial de Defesa possui competências e experiência
no desenvolvimento de soluções e respetiva incorporação tecnológica em IA; existe
capacidade técnica nacional para que os processos/sistemas identificados como prioritários
alcancem níveis de maturidade Technology Readiness Level superior a sete até ao final da
década. Neste seguimento, foram elencadas 17 propostas de melhoria da supradita
exploração de tecnologias de IA pelas FFAA.
Knowledge leadership and the definition of evolution trends for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are fundamentally focused on civil society. The strong convergence of communities in big data, computational power and research in machine learning algorithms, and the resulting dynamics, represent a challenge regarding Security and Defence. Thus, this investigation aimed to propose contributions to improve the capability of the Portuguese Armed Forces (FFAA) in the exploitation of AI technologies in military operations, methodologically guided by inductive reasoning, a qualitative strategy and a case study research design, and in the documental and content analysis of the interviews with 22 entities of the Ministry of National Defence (MDN), the FFAA and the academic and business sectors. From the results, it can be concluded that: the MDN and the FFAA are involved in projects within the scope of AI; the Defence Technological and Industrial Base partakes skills and experience regarding the development of AI solutions and respective technological incorporation in AI; there is national technical capacity for the processes/systems identified as priorities to reach maturity levels of Technology Readiness Level above seven by the end of the decade. In this follow-up, 17 proposals to improve the aforementioned capability of the FFAA were listed.
