Understanding the Limits of Artificial Intelligence for Warfighters. Volume 1, Summary

Abstract

This is the first report in a five-volume series addressing how artificial intelligence (AI) could be employed to assist warfighters in four distinct areas: cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, wargames, and mission planning. These areas were chosen to reflect the wide variety of potential uses and to highlight different kinds of limits to AI application. Each use case is presented in a separate volume, as it will be of interest to a different community. This first volume 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.
