US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the United Arab Emirates have established a bilateral task force in Abu Dhabi to accelerate military AI development. Named Task Force Talon Synapse, the team will focus on integrating AI for intelligence support, critical infrastructure protection, and regional security monitoring.
