Hey Gina.
Yeah.
And Gina, today that means looking into how AI is being used in the military.
So earlier this year.
The senior official for the applied artificial intelligence critical technology area in the Department of Defense, his name's Cameron Stanley.
Gave a demonstration of the AI system that they're implementing.
It's called Palantir's Maven Smart System.
And the hope is that AI, by streamlining and combining the processes of detecting targets and suggesting and carrying out attacks, will make war faster, more effective, and more efficient.
Yeah, exactly.
And a couple months after this Palantir demonstration, the Department of Defense announced that they'd entered agreements with eight artificial intelligence companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, and Google.
And these agreements were all meant to, quote, accelerate the transformation towards establishing the United States military as an AI-first fighting force.
End quote.
It's already being used in military actions.
In February of this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US military used Anthropic's AI tool Claude to assist with operations capturing President Maduro in Venezuela, although NPR hasn't officially confirmed that.
And the US military is also widely reported to be using Maven Smart System, powered in part by Claude, to assist with campaigns in Iran.
We should note, Anthropic's AI tools are currently being phased out of US military use.
So I wanted to know what does it mean that armed forces across the world are using AI?
What are the implications?
That's how I got a hold of Jack Shanahan.
