U.S Military’s pause on generative AI highlights growing concerns about its reliability and suitability for military applications. This pause reflects a need to reevaluate the foundational models’ approach of “giving everyone a shovel,” which is beginning to show significant signs of inefficacy. Yet, Traditional AI & ML models are still enabled and ingrained, due to better performance and reliability.
United States Space Force Paused the use of generative AI in September 2023.
US Navy Chief Information Officer, Jane Overslaugh Rathbun, concluded in June that commercial models of generative AI have inherent security vulnerabilities and are not recommended for operational use cases.
Challenges: Military faces difficulties in understanding military jargon, concerns over data handling, explaining AI decisions, and dealing with unexpected events.
Data Ownership: Military’s approach to data ownership complicates the case for generative AI implementation.
State of Play: Booz Allen Hamilton released an open-source version of its aiSSEMBLE platform to assist government clients, including the DOD, in quicker deployment of AI.
Critics: Many AI critics argue that generative AI is too unreliable for military applications, prompting a slower adoption approach by the Pentagon.
