Artificial Intelligence: Perspectives on Risks and Rewards for AI Technology Adoption

Abstract

AI is already replacing human workers in some occupations, while providing prescient insights into large datasets too vast for manual human curation. While the benefits are immeasurable, the risks are less subtle. Technology in general and AI specifically is showing how automation frequently exacerbates shortfalls in human cognition, which can cause a decrease in situational awareness and have unforeseen deskilling effects. However, to remain competitive in todays environment, the Marine Corps must pursue AI technologies, while also guarding against cognitive complacency in order to mitigate risks that challenge or potentially compromise fundamental human capabilities in the long-run.
