Algorithmic Warfare: Industry Prepping AI Tech for Next-Gen Aircraft
Algorithmic warfare in the making: Michael Atwood of General Atomics / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems on the way AI can be expected to take autonomy to the next level... (By Meredith Roaten at National Defense Magazine)
"A new advancement in autonomous capabilities with potential for future AI-controlled aerial vehicles is reinforced learning, he said. Using algorithms, an operator can define the world that the machine is allowed to operate in and give it a set of actions. The machine can then self-learn all the possible combinations of those actions in the set environment.
This type of learning could be reassuring to those with concerns about AI, especially as the military begins to test its largest class of unmanned aerial vehicles, he said. Setting the limits of what the machine can do can be comforting, but it still allows the system to innovate, Atwood said."
