Gen AI in Battle?

AI. Approaching middle late October. Developers waiting on GPT-4V API. Lots to discuss.

However, in light of the recent heartbreaking situation in Israel, we decided to look at some of the ways AI is being used in modern warfare.

1/ Drones/Imaging

The first use case: AI is being used to check drone feeds and satellite images.

The reason?

Militaries can better understand what’s actually happening on the battle field and synthesize information.

This technology is game changing-especially in tense situations in combat

Real-time imaging, generating combat scenarios on the fly in battle situations, instantaneous decision filtering and recommendations. It’s all there

2/ Training

Now, the question is - how else is generative AI being used in combat?

In training

We’ve all heard the saying -” he who sweats more in training bleeds less in war”-- this is literally true.

So, many modern training regimens utilize AI generated images and simulations for battle scenarios

3/ Information

Much of warfare is information warfare.

In this regard, generative AI can both pose a monstrous threat to armies and aid them in throwing off the enemy.

How so?

You see, generative AI can be used offensively to throw off the enemy — in this regard, military men can use deepfake images and fake audio recordings to throw off the enemy.

Yet, generative AI can also be used to detect when the opposition uses generative AI– in this way, it seems to be a two way street.

4/ Medical application

Now, as you know, war is gruesome. It’s hell for those involved. And the ideal scenario is no war. Once it starts though, as we are witnessing in real time, it becomes extremely important to save people- both soldiers and civilians.

Now, how is gen AI technology involved with this?

Generative AI can be used to diagnose injuries, predict medical needs, and even guide surgical robots in places where there’s a shortage of nurses.

Basically, gen AI provides that instantaneous recommendation and execution engine for medical procedures that might help speed up the medical process.

Executed right, this can save many lives.

This one had a more serious, somber tone. Anyways, peace out for now.
