“We’re now going to see agentic cyber defenses deployed against agentic cyber attacks,” said Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan, founder of the Pentagon’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center.
The potential of “generative AI” is too big to ignore, say retired generals Jack Shanahan and Mike Groen, who each led the Pentagon's Joint AI Center — but for now, its tendency to “hallucinate” and make up information is “a showstopper.”
The network transport architecture for NGC2 could be a hybrid approach that combines high assurance communications with 5G, WiFi, and multi-orbit satellites.
The Joint Common Foundation will put a standard set of tools in the cloud, where any Defense Department AI project can use them.
Despite past battles over Project Maven and other military uses of AI, “Google and many others” are now working with the Pentagon’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, its new acting director says.
"There are a lot of autonomous systems in DoD today. There are very few, and I would say really no significant, AI enabled autonomous systems," says Shanahan, who is trying to change that.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center needs three things: new acquisition authorities, more staff, and the cloud. With JEDI delayed ‘potentially many more months,’ director Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan said, he’s turning to an Air Force alternative.
Knowing when to build on commercial systems and when to develop something new can be the difference between parity and information dominance.
Writing regulations will take months. Convincing industry and academia to trust the military to handle AI ethically could take years.
The RAND report, commissioned by the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, unsurprisingly recommends more power for the JAIC over future service budgets. Right now AI efforts are so diffuse no one's even sure what's in the 2020 appropriations bill just passed.
The military has all the data it needs to train machine learning algorithms for war – somewhere. Now the Joint AI Center has to find it all and clean it up. The goal: AI Ready data.
Google wants to move beyond the ‘frustrating’ criticism of Project Maven and work closely with the Pentagon’s year-old Joint AI Center, senior VP Kent Walker said.
The GPS network continues to prove its unmatched reliability, and it’s only getting stronger.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center won't automate nuclear response -- but it is working towards AI on conventional weapons and leery of arms control.
"How do I even know what’s normal and what’s abnormal so I can detect anomalies? We simply don’t know," says Dean Souleles, chief technology advisor for the Director of National Intelligence.
The military will use Silicon Valley's approach to quickly field imperfect products, then rapidly improve them based on user feedback.
Future soldiers will need to download huge amounts of intelligence data -- then disconnect and go dark, like a submarine diving underwater to hunt its prey.
