Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan, head of the Joint AI Center for the DOD, talks integrating AI into its weapons systems, building predictive maintenance tools, and more
but he does want artificial intelligence to occupy a central role in warfighting. https://www.wired.com/... @cnastech : “Let's say a human being is correct 99.99 percent of the time. Is it fine for the software to be the same, or does it need to be an order of magnitude better?” asks @MartijnRasser in @WIRED. https://www.wired.com/... @wired : “Humans make mistakes in combat every single day. Bad things happen. It's chaotic. Emotions run high ... I am in the camp that says we can do a lot to help reduce the potential for those mistakes with AI-enabled capabilities—never eliminate.” https://www.wired.com/...
