NATO’s Crossed Swords Exercise Brings AI Agents Into Cyber Operations Training

NATO's Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence conducted a Crossed Swords exercise in Estonia that incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) agents and OpenAI Daybreak into training that simulated joint cyber and kinetic operations. The exercise represents an effort to integrate emerging AI technologies into NATO's operational readiness framework.

Why it matters: Defense and government cyber teams should understand how allied forces are adopting AI for operational planning, as this shapes expectations and interoperability standards for multinational cyber defense collaboration.
