France has declared defense artificial intelligence a core security interest, according to Minister Catherine Vautrin. The announcement highlights the need to prepare for potential high‑intensity conflict by 2030 and stresses AI’s role in national sovereignty and power projection. The Ministry of Armed Forces will control AI from design to deployment. The decision was made when the new Ministry Agency for Defense AI (AMIAD) building in Bruz opened. By activating exceptional procurement procedures, the ministry will shorten public acquisition timelines from months to weeks and strengthen cybersecurity, intelligence and operational capabilities. AMIAD will deploy innovative tools to accelerate acquisitions and support the ministry’s specific interests.
