Peter Layton
Dr Peter Layton is a Visiting Fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute Griffith University, a Royal United Services Institute (UK) Associate Fellow, and a Fellow of the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group. He has extensive aviation and defence experience including flying fast jets and maritime patrol, force development, major equipment projects and as a defence attaché. For his work at the Pentagon on force structure matters, he was awarded the US Secretary of Defense’s Exceptional Public Service Medal.
Dr Layton has a doctorate from the University of New South Wales on grand strategy and has lectured on the topic at the Eisenhower School, National Defense University (Washington); Australian War College (Canberra); Royal College of Defence Studies (London); US Air Force’s National Nuclear Strategy and Global Security Workshop for Practitioners; Virginia Tech (Blacksburg) and several others. He has undertaken a Fellowship at the European University Institute, Fiesole, Italy.
Dr Layton is widely published in Australia and internationally. His research interests include grand strategy, national security policies particularly relating to middle powers, defence force structure concepts and the impacts of emerging technology. He contributes regularly to the public policy debate on defence and foreign affairs issues and is the author of the book Grand Strategy (https://lnkd.in/f7paXkU) and co-author of Warfare in the Robotic Age (https://shorturl.at/k2zlC).

This open access book is the outcome of a unique multinational effort organized by the Hamburg-based Defense AI Observatory (DAIO) to portray the current state of affairs regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by armed forces around the world. The contributions span a diverse range of geostrategic contexts by providing in-depth case studies on Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, the UK, and the United States. The book does not speculate about the future implications of AI on armed forces, but rather discusses how armed forces are currently exploring the potential of this emerging technology. By adopting a uniform analytical framework, each case study discusses how armed forces view defense AI; how they are developing AI-enhanced solutions, adapting existing structures and processes, and funding their defense AI endeavors; to what extent defense AI is already fielded and operated; and how soldiers and officers are being trained to work with AI.

To address these complex questions, Ash Rossiter and Peter Layton explore the past, present, and potential military use of robotic systems. The result is a critical assessment of not only the opportunities and challenges, but also the dangers, of warfare in the robotics age.
