NATO releases revised AI strategy NATO's revised Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy emphasizes the rapid evolution and critical importance of AI technologies for defense and security. The strategy builds on the 2021 AI Strategy, reinforcing the six Principles of Responsible Use and outlining updated aims and desired outcomes. Key goals include responsible AI adoption, accelerating AI integration in NATO capabilities, and safeguarding against adversarial AI threats. The strategy also highlights the importance of quality data, ethical considerations, and collaboration with industry and academia. NATO aims to foster an AI-ready workforce, develop AI standards, and enhance interoperability across the Alliance, while addressing the societal and operational impacts of AI.

Scale AI has been tapped by the Pentagon's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) to create a comprehensive testing and evaluation (T&E) framework for large language models within the Defense Department. This one-year contract will enable the CDAO to safely deploy AI by measuring model performance, offering real-time feedback for warfighters, and creating specialized public sector evaluation sets for military support applications. Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI technologies hold immense potential for the DoD, but they also present unique challenges. Scale AI is also working on a pilot project at the Port of Ponce, Puerto Rico, to create a Smart Port Lab. The project involves developing AI-enabled infrastructure to improve port operations, including autonomous inspection systems, container tracking, and digital document processing [see Ryan Petersen Flexport & tackling schlep blindness]. The goal in Ponce is to enhance efficiency, increase trade fluidity, and make Ponce a critical logistics hub. Scale AI has partnered with industry leaders like Meta, Microsoft, the U.S. Army, the Defense Innovation Unit, OpenAI, General Motors, Toyota Research Institute, Nvidia, and many others. #ScaleAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIForDefense #GenerativeAI #largelanguagemodels #TestingAndEvaluation #CDAO #DoD #Innovation #DefenseContracting #DefenseTech #PuertoRico

Can AI be integrated into military and diplomatic contexts in a secure, responsible way? The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)-and the Stanford Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) examine the potential and pitfalls of using LLMs in difficult-to-predict escalation patterns in this report. https://lnkd.in/gp9q3Qck #AI #LLM

For better or for worse? I think the EU does well to at least lay down a foundation to ensure ethical use of technology. Although I haven’t read any mentions about military use? What’s the point of limiting AI on a few areas when it has unlimited growth potential in others? Read more in the article 'The EU’s AI Act is now in force': https://lnkd.in/dFjb7QNH

Excited to share my latest article for the #JAPCC Journal. #ChatGPT disrupts the industry, providing new capabilities to individuals and businesses, but what about the military? Could it give the advantage on the battlefield? Those questions I try to address in this article, and also to provide an overview of the challenges assosiated to #LLMs, and how they can revolutionize modern warfare, improve decision-making, and enhance ISTAR operations.

"Embracing AI is a strategic move for any business. If you're considering adoption or in the midst of exploring the possibilities, by unlocking the potential of AI can be a game-changer for any business." You might find this interesting while your still investigating or if you have already started to invest in AI technology. #Broadcom #AI #FowardThinking #Technology #Innovation

Couldn’t agree more with our federal advisor GEN (Ret) Stephen Townsend that as the United States Department of Defense selects its AI use cases, adopting the Intelligence Community’s trusted #AI tools is key for speed. “[AI] is not about replacing our analysts and decision makers, it’s about making them better and far faster. DOD leaders can quickly yet prudently do this by embracing the pre-cleared, trusted AI tools in use by the IC and SOF. In so doing, they can ultimately reduce time to insight for leaders both on the ground and at the highest levels of command, to deter and, if need be, respond.” Read a summary of Gen Townsend’s article: https://lnkd.in/g5XreQEZ

From deploying AI at the tactical edge to addressing hallucinations and enhancing acquisition speed, the potential for AI in national security is vast. The U.S. Defense Department's recent strides in AI adoption are evident. Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks unveiled the department’s AI Adoption Strategy in November, marking a pivotal moment in modernization efforts.

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing warfare and changing the landscape of deterrence strategies worldwide. The integration of AI in military systems has the potential to enhance decision-making processes in conflict situations and bolster national security. As AI technology continues to advance, it is crucial for policymakers and military leaders to adapt and develop robust frameworks to regulate the use of AI in warfare. AI's impact on deterrence strategies is profound, requiring careful consideration and proactive measures to ensure responsible and ethical deployment. The intersection of AI and deterrence will shape the future of national security and defense capabilities in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
