AI moves into military boards and subsystems

Artificial intelligence (AI) is inching into high-end military markets, according to the suppliers of computer and sensor boards. However, challenges like meshing AI's rapid advances with lengthy military contract times may slow widespread adoption.

Developers of boards and subsystems at the recent Embedded Tech Trends conference in Atlanta detailed the growing role of AI as well as challenges that must be overcome before it can achieve widespread usage. The conference is sponsored by VITA, a manufacturers group that creates many of the computer board standards used in military equipment.
