Snapshot: The Journey to Advance AI for Military Learning Audiences
April 16 - MS&T Industry Article by Marty Kauchak featuring MAK
Defense leaders in the Pentagon and elsewhere around globe envision AI will support most of their services’ and agencies’ day-to-day business and operational activities – from intelligence to logistics to missions in the warfare domains. The consequences are immense for the department’s learning enterprises. While AI may be viewed by some as a “mid tech” or “so-so” technology as it trains logisticians to complete laser-sharp inventories and like tasks, artificial intelligence is also being developed literally for life-and-death purposes – training operators to successfully unleash kinetic and non-kinetic effects in missions.
