Agile interoperability should be and is the future of #autonomy within the United States Department of Defense's inventory of technologies. Gone are the days of the vendor-locked and siloed ecosystems that delay innovation. In an age of rapid and accelerating technological advancement, the United States and its partners should require nothing less.

The US Air Force's groundbreaking dogfight between a human pilot and an AI-controlled fighter jet underscores the transformative impact of AI across various sectors, demonstrating real-time results and outcomes. This event, held at Edwards Air Force Base, featured a duel between a computer-operated F-16 and a manned F-16, showcasing advanced maneuvers at speeds up to 1,200 miles per hour. The AI-driven jet, equipped with machine learning capabilities, made instant decisions based on real-time data, highlighting the potential of AI to replicate and enhance human decision-making processes in high-stakes environments. This achievement not only marks a significant milestone in aerospace history but also illustrates the broad, dynamic capabilities of AI technology. #AI

Long, rambling post ahead after a solid 14 hours of being “on”. We (LES) had a great day attending the Land Environment Working Group today, but the standout for me was the session covering the use of AI & Autonomous capability for Land. Being part of a company that develops Airworthiness compliant LSAR artefacts for both the RAAF and Army Aviation, there’s a real, hard and fast requirement on us to ensure the data we work with and develop ourselves, comes from an authorised, safe and proven source or process. The proof of data provenance and being able to impart confidence to Defence that the data and deliverable is “applicable and effective” to the operation and safety of the capability can be easily challenged and poorly perceived if it’s derived from an uncontrolled or untested AI / GPT background. That aside, there are a few immediate uses I can see for constrained, bespoke custom GPTs in some elements of our development approach; but until we have a governance or assurance framework defined by Defence that we can align to, it would be a significantly risky path to undertake as things stand now. Taking that thought a step further though, along with Airworthiness, Seaworthiness and the emerging Landworthiness, could we see a future “cross domain” AIWorthiness assurance framework on the horizon? The ability to have an AIWorthiness framework that industry can align and comply to, to assure, test, and trace GPT data and its integrity, along with the demonstrable, ethical use of AI / GPT based artefacts in both civilian and in-theatre environments would go a long way to helping industry evolve into this rapidly developing space. Food for thought. #lewg #defenceindustry #defenceinnovation #aifordefence

If you are interested in AI developments and haven't seen it already, this documentary is worth a watch. It focuses mostly on applications in the military field and the need to put in place global governance quickly to ensure the opportunities offered by the technology are used for the greater good...

DAF CIO Venice M. Goodwine, CISSP, PMP hosted a firside chat with Hon Kristyn Jones PDTO Under Secretary of the Air Force on day one of the DAF Data, Analytics & AI conference. The discussion focused on Data & AI governance, using data to make good resourcing decisions, and the importance of leveraging data to empower Airmen & Guardians as the Department realigns for Great Power Competion.

AI, AI, AI...You hear it everywhere ! A very interesting publication worth reading. Quentin Ladetto & contributing experts are providing some insights.

It’s a brave new world, and deterrence won’t come cheap. As in the age of potential nuclear war, the West would be significantly remiss to not sustain a technological and doctrinal edge over adversaries in this domain. It’s a bold move to depend on potential adversaries to first agree, then abide by unenforceable international agreements.

Warfighter's Edge: AI Through the Lens of DoD's Hierarchy of Needs - A 30-Part Series. Part 5; Weekly Recap. For Avion Solutions, Inc., embracing this AI-driven transformation within the defense sector is not just about staying ahead technologically; it's about redefining our approach to solving complex challenges and delivering innovative solutions that ensure mission success and operational excellence. As we work to understand and align with the DoD's visionary strategies, we're poised to learn and grow in leveraging AI to enhance decision-making, operational readiness, and strategic capabilities. This commitment to innovation and adaptability underscores our dedication to supporting the Warfighters Edge. -As we conclude this week's insights and gear up for further exploration, we invite you to engage with us on this transformative journey: -How do you envision AI altering the landscape of future military engagements and the principles of warfare? -In what ways can AI-driven technologies balance the need for rapid decision-making with the imperative for ethical considerations in military operations? -What potential challenges and opportunities do you foresee in the integration of AI within defense logistics and supply chain management to enhance operational readiness?

This is what I have been warning about regarding the confluence of robots, AI, and the military. It is the replacement of human beings with machines and artificial choice selection. For those who regularly argue against my Cassandra-like predictions of doom regarding the involvement of robots and associated machine choice selection I want to give four problems with what is being suggested in the very brief linked article. 1. There is no artificial thought, there is only choice selection. Machines don't think. They certainly do not do so like human beings. All of the AI game development - chess, go, etc. - shows that computers do not make decisions as do humans. They make selections from a series of choices. Anthropomorphizing such actions as thought or creativity is dangerous and risks human lives which is not an exaggeration when discussing war. 2. Humans need to fight wars. This imposes costs on the actors that should cause some hesitation on conduct. No human lives at risk can open up possibilities for greater risk assumption and greater harm. More importantly, it crosses a moral line of robots killing humans which we should not cross. Also, robots in military service also frees leaders from having to assuage the moral qualms of their subordinates which is always something of an issue. The U.S. efforts to explain the benefits and the logic (twisted at times) for the combined bomber offensive in World War II reflects the challenges leaders face with humans that robots will not impose. 3. This is a reflection of the military-industrial complex run amok. In essence, those who support this effort are effectively saying that they do not support improving the military nor teaching people to value their country, rather they want to replace the unwilling citizenry with robots. It is ethical and moral bankruptcy. 4. Finally, and maybe most importantly, this is an abdication of participation in narrative war. If America fights wars with robots rather than people, then we will be seen as the alien invader as shown in almost every science-fiction military movie ever made. We will place ourselves in an insurmountable hole, narratively speaking. To be clear, Skynet is evil. Do not pursue it. Or, stop your pursuit now for those currently pursuing it. Furthermore, do not kid yourself, such actions are a pursuit of Skynet. https://lnkd.in/gVE2SSKY
