Pentagon: Artificial intelligence is more important today than hypersound
The US military makes it clear that the delay in opening a new scientific center may lead to a lag behind the People's Republic of China in the development of the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) for military needs.
Recall that at the first stage, the United States plans to use AI to analyze huge amounts of information coming to the Pentagon from satellites and drones. Now, according to the US Department of Defense, no more than 5% of this information is analyzed, but AI will bring the analysis to 100%. It is stated that this is necessary, for example, to identify the positions of terrorists in certain areas. "In a manual way" to analyze terabytes of video and photos, as noted in the Pentagon, is not possible.
The same Shenahan stated that at this stage the Pentagon has no plans to open similar centers for the development of hypersonic and laser programs. weapons. These technologies, according to the Deputy Minister of Defense, are being studied in conjunction with a number of other programs - in particular, along with the program for creating a compact mobile energy source that could be used to form a high-energy laser beam.
In July, according to Patrick Shanahan, the Pentagon will present a development program before 2023, which will allow “to plan investments”.
