T he integration of artificial intelligence into drone operations has significantly expanded the capabilities of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). These technologies now enable drones to collect, process, and analyze large volumes of data with increasing autonomy. However, this evolution has introduced new challenges related to data sovereignty and the ethical use of AI. These challenges are becoming particularly relevant in sectors where drones are used for inspections, such as

A s drone fleets multiply and sensors evolve, the real bottleneck isn’t in the sky—it’s on the ground. Petabytes of data are landing with...
