The Pentagon intends to use state-of-the-art “cloud” networks and artificial intelligence systems to anticipate the actions of its opponents before they take them, writes The Drive.
The United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) has recently conducted a series of tests codenamed GIDE (Global Information Dominance Experiments), where in combination with the global sonnet network, artificial intelligence (AI) systems and cloud computing resources , have tried to “achieve the dominance of information” and “superior skills before making decisions”, Telegrafi reports.
NORTHCOM announces that AI and teaching aids have been tested in these experiments, and may one day give the Pentagon the “ability to see many days before things happen”, where with a dose of reliability it predicts the future based on estimates template, anomalies and trends of large databases.
Although the concept resembles Phili K. Dick’s novel and the film of the same name “Excess Report,” NORTHCOM Commander General Glenn VanHerck says such a possibility is possible thanks to the tools available to the Pentagon.
The American general told reporters that this is the third GIDE test, which was carried out in cooperation with all 11 commands that “cooperated in the same space and used the same capabilities.”
The experiment focused on logic and information, which are the two main pillars of the new way of fighting that has recently been achieved in the US military.
“Machine learning and artificial intelligence can detect changes, and we can set parameters that will raise the alarm and prompt you to put in place a sensor like GEOINT, and you can better see what happens in locations.” “certain,” he said, adding that the purpose of this is for the US military to be proactive rather than reactive.
“The ability to see things a few days in advance creates space and this space offers the possibility of option for the Secretary or the President,” the general explained.
The GIDE test uses artificial intelligence tools to analyze real-time data from a network of sensors worldwide, including “commercially accessible information” from designated partners. This information can be shared for the “cloud”, if NORTHCOM decides on such a thing, it was said at the conference.
General VanHerck has said that NORTHCOM does not work on creating new tools or concepts – but already uses the data it has so that the army command is sufficiently familiar with the situation on the ground.
“We do not create new capacities for collecting data and information. That information already exists in our satellites, radars and cyberspace… This data exists. “What we do is make this data accessible… and share it with the cloud where learning machines and artificial intelligence can control and process it and provide it to decision makers.” this gives them a few days “advantage” to react.
