Following a surge in interest from UK Defence representative, Autonomy Unleashed presents the opportunity to network with key decision-makers, policy influencers, and technology pioneers driving the real-world development and deployment of autonomous systems. Currently, Defence, Law Enforcement, Public Sector, and Academia form more than three-quarters of the delegates attending this month.

The event will commence with a keynote session from Lt Gen John (Jack) N.T. Shanahan, the inaugural director of the US DoD Joint Artificial Center (JAIC), exploring ‘the future of AI-enhanced autonomy in military operations’. As the founding Director of the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team (Project Maven), he pioneered the DoD’s first operational AI programme, advancing the use of AI for military operations, and intelligence collection and analysis.
The conference then moves onto three pressing themes in this increasingly important sector: conquering autonomy hurdles; realising autonomous potential; and revolutionary, inclusive, and next-gen autonomous systems.
Speakers taking to the stage include Paul Newman, President, Co-Founder & CTO of Oxa; Varuna De Silva, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies at Loughborough University; and Richard Walters, Lead Research Data Scientist at the Defence AI Research (DARe) Centre.
Delegates will also hear from:
- Alex Kehoe, CEO & Founder of Vizgard
- Prof John McDermid, Lloyd’s Register Foundation Chair of Safety at the University of York
- Saber Fallah, Professor of Safe AI and Autonomy and the Director of CAV-Lab at the
University of Surrey - Dr Abigail Hird, Director at Defankle Innovation Limited
- Susan Scurlock, CEO & Founder of Primary Engineer
Autonomy Unleashed 2025 provides the opportunity to explore the potential of Autonomy and explore how the hurdles currently facing the integration of autonomous technologies, particularly when it comes to Defence, Law Enforcement, and other government departments, can be overcome.
As well as the opportunity to hear from, and network with leading figures in autonomy and autonomous technologies, delegates will receive access to the event registrant directory to arrange one-to-one meetings, and presentations post-event.
