“The real potential for military application of artificial intelligence is to empower our commanders — the men and women who lead our formations. And how do we bring the power of AI to bear to let them do three things: make more decisions, make better decisions and make faster decisions?” said Gen. James Rainey, Army Futures’ commanding general, at a recent Scale AI’s government summit. Rainey reflected on ways the military is adapting to the quickly evolving advantages and limitations posed by AI in modern warfare. “I don’t personally think we have a technology problem — I think we have a tech adoption problem,” he said. Futures Command is the Army’s key innovation-pushing and modernization-enabling arm, making Gen. Rainey's perspective particularly insightful.

"Intelligence applications is probably number one for the US Army priority-wise. Leveraging AI to help us be more efficient and faster with intel." -Doug Bush, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics, and Technology United States Department of Defense leaders consistently list AI as their top priority. One big reason for this is the sheer volume of data generated daily by the military. Real-time analysis of historical and live datasets provides a major strategic advantage, and AI is essential for achieving this due simply to the time required for human interpretation. There's no denying that AI is here to stay. The next steps involve making thoughtful policy decisions, fielding and testing new technologies, and setting guidelines for how AI will assist human analysts and operators in various applications.

AI is revolutionizing military operations with faster decision-making and precision. While it boosts efficiency and command capabilities, we must tackle its technical limits and ethical implications. I believe in ethical AI use for sustainable military advantages. What are your thoughts on AI's role and ethical use in defense? #MilitaryAI #EthicalTech #ArtificialIntelligence Original article: https://lnkd.in/evSvZSB6

MILITARY AI TRUST ISSUES: The Pentagon is grappling with a significant trust deficit in its AI systems among military personnel. Despite advanced AI tools designed to enhance battlefield decisions, there's a notable lack of confidence from the troops meant to rely on them. Soldiers express concerns over AI's reliability and accuracy, particularly under the intense, unpredictable conditions of warfare. This skepticism extends to life-or-death decisions, where the stakes couldn't be higher.

The value of artificial intelligence is not limited to advances in industry and consumer products alone. When Implemented in a responsible way —AI can power data-driven decision-making across government and military organizations. #AI #data

GEN George, US Army Chief of Staff, recently stated the Army will reduce time spent on vehicle maintenance across the force with “modest changes” to maintenance intervals in the service’s fleet of vehicles. The saved hours will give Soldiers more time to train and spend with families. The Army’s top uniformed leader said the nation’s largest military branch must find ways to continually transform, including developing methods to better access and process data while enabling machine learning…..(https://lnkd.in/g7bFQ-Wd). “We have to ruthlessly prioritize how we use time and resources,” George said. Separately, ASA(ALT) has repeatedly spoken about technology solutions that must be MOSA, platform-agnostic, non-proprietary, and fairly priced. I’ve lived these challenges – as many of you have/do. We have Readiness solutions to these challenges – within the parameters listed above. If you haven’t watched already, please watch!

How #AI Might Affect Decisionmaking in a #NationalSecurity Crisis "Imagine a meeting of the U.S. president’s National Security Council where a new military adviser sits in one of the chairs—virtually, at least, because this adviser is an advanced AI system. This may seem like the stuff of fantasy, but the United States could at some point in the not-too-distant future have the capability to generate and deploy this type of technology. An AI adviser is unlikely to replace traditional members of the National Security Council—currently made up of the secretaries of defense, state, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But an AI presence at the table could have some fascinating—and challenging—implications for how decisions are made. The effects might be even more significant if the United States knew that its adversaries had similar technology at their disposal." https://lnkd.in/evRfQn4r

General James Rainey, Commander of Army Futures Command, highlights the importance of human skills for the Army of 2040: “If we properly integrate machines and humans, we can offload risk from our soldiers onto machines — and more importantly — [we can] optimize humans for the things that only humans can do.” An undergraduate curriculum with a strong foundation in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM disciplines will be essential for leading in this era. #humanskills #humanities #socialsciences #STEM #leadership #futureready https://lnkd.in/eWdZkJRj
