ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS


For the Army to successfully develop artificial intelligence, it needs to collect the right data before investing.


By Lt. Col. Jenny Stacy O


ngoing advances in artificial intelligence (AI) “will change society and ultimately, the character of war,” according to the 2018 National Defense Strategy. DOD has prioritized AI investments to increase


lethality and retain multidomain dominance over peer and near- peer adversaries.


As part of this technology pivot, the Army is laying the founda- tion to integrate AI into future tactical network modernization efforts. AI technology has matured since the mid-1950s, when development began, but acquisition professionals need to temper unrealistic expectations, be cautious of buying into industry hype, and gain enough understanding of AI to ask the right questions before making an investment.


AI IN THE ARMY: WHERE ARE WE NOW?


“A.I. refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence—for example, recognizing patterns, learning from experience, drawing conclusions, making predictions or taking action—whether digitally or as the smart software behind autonomous physical systems,” according to the 2018 DOD AI Strategy, released in February.


AI applications can quickly analyze vast amounts of data to produce actionable information. Tey can predict terrorist attacks,


identify targets from imagery or audio surveillance, or enable faster and more informed decisions.


DOD’s AI strategy calls for accelerating delivery and adoption of AI; establishing a common foundation to scale AI’s impact across the department and enable decentralized development and exper- imentation; evolving partnerships with industry, academia, allies and partners; cultivating a leading AI workforce; and leading in military AI ethics and safety.


In October 2018, the Army established a scalable Army-AI Task Force under U.S. Army Futures Command to narrow existing AI capability gaps by leveraging current technological applica- tions. Te AI task force will work closely with the cross-functional teams at work on the Army’s modernization priorities to integrate AI into those efforts. Te Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) is already applying AI technol- ogy to address signal detection on the battlefield, by inserting AI and machine-learning prototypes into electronic warfare systems. Tese prototypes will be fielded to select operational units as early as August.


RECENT AI FAILURES AI technology has existed since the 1950s. In 1970, cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky predicted “a machine with the general
