 Helping Humans and Computers Fight Together: Military Lessons from Civilian AI - War on the Rocks

 Week 5: AI in the Military 

Artificial intelligence is slowly being integrated into all aspects of our lives. From online customer service and education to production purposes and automation of jobs, AI is everywhere. Have you considered how AI is starting to affect our military? Prior to computers and satellites all jobs of the military were done manually. There were teams of people sitting around discussing strategy and what would be best.  

We now are able to use AI to help us with strategy and even helping us use our satellite more efficiently. AI is able to sort through satellite images at a speed no human could manually obtain. This could be helpful when looking for wanted individuals as well as soldiers who have been taken captive that we are trying to save. Using AI for strategy purposes will help us sort through options to find the most beneficial path. This could help our military during times of high pressure. 

According to author Paul Scharre, AI is currently being used on the battlefields in Ukraine. According to him drones are already being used to target and attack Ukraine soldiers. This will prevent putting large groups of our soldiers into the direct firing of the Ukraine soldiers, hopefully keeping U.S. causalities down. He also says AI is really used behind the scenes to help maintenance and logistics.

  Week 8: AI in Ads Have you ever been talking to your friend about a topic and possibly even googled something and now this topic is all over your social media and you are seeing ads for it everywhere? This is another form of AI. Websites uses tools called cookies to collect data about what you are looking at, for how long and if you are returning to the website or a certain item.  The more you use your computer the more it will get to know you.

Week 4: AI and Baking According to LinkedIn the five most in demand jobs are commis chef, baker, artificial intelligence engineer, research and development engineer, and service officer. Bakers have become more in demand due to businesses reopening after covid shut downs. Another reason bakers are more in demand is because just like technology baking has evolved and more people are looking for specialty items. Such as gluten free bread, Ezekiel bread and specialty cakes. These items can not be found in stores so people turn to local bakeries.  It is obvious why artificial intelligence engineers are in much higher demand and that is because AI has become more popular. AI is also being implemented in more and more jobs so it is crucial there are people who know what to do with the AI. The need for this position will continue to rise.  Artificial Intelligence can actually be used in the baking process. In baking it is very important that all your measurements are exact. In most l...
