Redefining Security: Navigating the Future of AI, Robotics & Autonomous Systems
The world order has shifted, and we now face an era of unprecedented uncertainty. Distance is no longer a deterrent, and Australia’s vast geography and northern exposure pose critical security challenges. Traditional crewed systems are costly to scale, but AI, robotics, and autonomous systems provide a faster, more cost-effective solution. With over $10 billion in government investment, Australia must lead in these technologies to maintain a strategic advantage.
However, the path to leadership is complex—navigating integration, interoperability, cybersecurity, electronic warfare, ethics, sovereign capability, and supply chains will be crucial.
Secure Australia will bring together defence, security, government, academia, international partners, and industry to tackle these challenges and explore the opportunities of this decisive technology.
Join us this November in Canberra for this crucial conversation.
