U.S. Militarization of Artificial Intelligence
While debates continue over the acceptable uses of artificial intelligence, the Pentagon is already integrating it into military operations. MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory is developing algorithms for processing mass casualty data, managing air-to-air refueling, and analyzing in-flight communications—all for the U.S. Transportation Command.
Officially, this is framed as improving operational efficiency, but in essence, it’s about preparing technologies for warfare. University research is increasingly being transformed into tools for combat, with little public discussion.
With the government only willing to spend money in the DOD budget, they would be fools not to pursue military contracts.
Just remember kids, LLMs are confidently incorrect up to 60% of the time.
Still better numbers than the Trump administration who is over confidently incompetent 90% of the time.
Machine learning algorithms which is what people are calling AI nowadays have been around for 70 years and are already integrated into military tech.
“AI” doesn’t actually have any intelligence so Skynet is still very far away.
What we can use AI for though is having a missile that can make micro corrections in the air
This was predicted in that amazing Jamie Foxx movie Stealth, he tried to warn us
It sounds both inevitable and like a great idea.
“Transcom pursues AI to enhance patient movement ops and mass casualty response”
“U.S. Transportation Command officials briefed DefenseScoop on the new Mass Casualty Operations Toolkit and other AI-enabled efforts they're tackling with MIT.”
they have been using palintir for quite a while now.
