“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.

AI is probabilistic and, like in all other fields, is not right 100% of the time even in military. What is the minimum %age of time that AI should be right for it to be used in warfare? (A) 90% (B) 99% (C) 99.999%. http://disq.us/p/2ybpm0a. https://lnkd.in/gCHfHYaC.

U.S. Army Launches Pilot to Explore Generative AI in Acquisition and Contracting The U.S. Army is set to launch a pilot program next month to explore how its acquisition and contracting workforce can utilize generative AI to enhance efficiency. Jennifer Swanson, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for data, engineering, and software, announced the initiative at Defense One’s Tech Summit. The pilot aims to improve contract writing and data analysis, increasing productivity and leveraging industry tools. The Army joins other DoD branches like the Air Force, Space Force, and Navy in experimenting with generative AI. The pilot, trained on Army data, will provide citation-based outputs for fact-checking and is part of a broader effort to integrate AI, reduce associated risks, and inform future budgets. #generativeAI #USarmy #defensetech #AIinnovation #militaryefficiency

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the annual United States Department of Defense People Analytic Conference at the Pentagon. The topics ranged from the ways we are improving Command Climate to how we are using Open AI to improve the way we process and analyze data for Recruitment and Readiness of the US Army. #alwayslearning #Growthmindset #Innovation #Knowledgeispower

So who among my contacts is following the AI phenomenon? Alright, I admit that's like asking "Who here is in tech". Here's a short video that was recently posted on one of the YouTube pages I follow. If you're interested in AI and its military applications, you may want to give this a few minutes of your time. https://lnkd.in/gjk2MNWQ

🚨 AI Alert: AI Arms Race? Experts Warn of Growing Competition in Development of Military Artificial Intelligence. The race for AI supremacy heats up! Concerns rise over the development of military AI. Can international cooperation prevent an AI arms race?

Interesting discussion. I am cynical of major military powers developing any norms to regulate the use of military AI. Why would they squander the technology's advantage over their adversaries despite the possible consequences? The best military use of AI would combine human creativity and ingenuity with the former's consistency, precision, processing power, and durability.
