Americans have recently learned of the Pentagon’s plans to proceed with various implementations of artificial intelligence (AI), reports Fox News.
The Pentagon and the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence
If the Pentagon has its way, AI will become a central part of America’s national intelligence and defense. Various types of AI are already being created via the country’s combat systems. The Pentagon is, therefore, pushing for the use of AI within aircraft, ships, drones, tanks, massive networks and even weaponry. The purpose of AI use in these areas is to promote superior and modern innovations. The apparent forthcoming successes of AI are so strong that Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has ordered the new development of a Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC).
“The deputy secretary of defense directed the DOD chief information officer to stand up the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center in order to enable teams across DOD to swiftly deliver new AI-enabled capabilities and effectively experiment with new operating concepts in support of DOD’s military missions and business functions,” said Heather Babb, a DOD spokesperson.
