Introduction to the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Strengthening the Security of Nuclear Facilities
February 6, 2024 - February 8, 2024
The Introduction to the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Strengthening the Security of Nuclear Facilities workshop on 6-8 Feb 2024 will review the latest information on the various applications of AI in nuclear security and specifically physical protection in the context of nuclear facilities.
This workshop will explore how AI can play a significant role in improving physical protection by enhancing threat detection, monitoring, and response capabilities. In particular, the workshop will explore the following areas:
- Video Surveillance and Monitoring (Facial Recognition, Object Detection, Behavioural Analysis)
- Intrusion Detection (Data Integration, Anomaly Detection, Pattern Recognition)
- Predictive Maintenance (Sensor Monitoring, Data Analysis)
- Response (Automated Alerts, Scenario Prediction, Real-time Engagement Awareness)
- Open Source Intelligence (Information gathering; Threat assessment)
- Education (Personalised training; Tailored exercises)
It clearly appears that AI holds immense potential to drive innovation, improve decision-making processes and solve complex problems across various fields, and eventually positively impacting society. How does it apply to the nuclear industry and in particular to the security of the nuclear materials, processes and facilities all along the fuel cycle? What are the expected nuclear security benefits? What could be the risks? What is the right level of the human-in-the loop when assessing security incidents.
Nuclear operators and other nuclear security stakeholders are already investing significant resources to address ever evolving threats and to continuously look for new approaches and advanced technologies that will help ensure they remain one step ahead of their adversaries. What attitude should nuclear operators adopt towards AI? How can they develop their understanding of the topic? How can they design and implement a process for integrating AI capabilities into their nuclear security programme equipment and security solutions? What are the prerequisites to the successful implement such technology? What could be challenges, including legal and ethical matters?
The workshop will offer the opportunity for the participants to benefit from the experience of practitioners who are already using AI to enhance the performance of their security arrangements.
Participation is limited to space available.
