ALL THINGS CYBER
PREPARING FOR THE
BATTLESPACE CYBER
The Institute for Creative Technologies is helping the Army make the most of AI in future warfare.
by Keith Brawner, Ph.D. J
ust as steam engines and electricity once transformed industry, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing warfare—reshaping training, decision-making and cyber oper- ations. Te challenge, though, isn’t just in developing and deploying AI, it’s also in preparing our personnel to effectively work alongside it.
Te conflict of the future will continue to be fought with weapons, but it will also require data, algorithms and intelligent automation, as well as the people who use them. Te Army must prepare for a battlespace where AI-driven cyberattacks, battlefield decision-making and AI-based wargaming tactics are the norm—and they must prepare Soldiers and support staff for its use through immersive, personalized and, yes, AI-enabled training programs and tools.
Founded in 1999, and sponsored by the U.S. Army, the Institute for Creative Technolo- gies (ICT), at the University of Southern California (USC), is a Department of Defense University Affiliated Research Center that is researching new simulations and learning tech- nologies across all branches of service, including AI in all its forms. As the Army program manager for ICT, I have urged our labs to focus on AI almost exclusively over the past year—because it’s what the military urgently needs to prepare for the future of warfare. Tey needed no encouragement, as AI and machine learning are now functionally part of every operational software system and every development environment within the Army. In fact, it was recently reported that roughly 30% of Microsoft’s code is AI written and
