The U.S. Air Force is increasingly interested in the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance various aspects of warfighting. This project seeks instead to understand the limits of AI for warfighting applications.
-
Rather than attempting to determine the limits of AI in general, the researchers selected and investigated four specific warfighting applications as potential use cases: cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, wargames, and mission planning. These applications were chosen to represent a variety of possible uses while highlighting different constraints. AI experiments were performed for the three cases for which sufficient data could be obtained; the remaining case, wargames, explored broadly how AI could or could not be applied.
-
This report is the first in a five-volume series and summarizes the findings and recommendations from all use cases. It is aimed at policymakers, acquisition professionals, and those with a general interest in the application of AI to warfighting.
