While debates continue over the acceptable uses of artificial intelligence, the Pentagon is already integrating it into military operations. MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory is developing algorithms for processing mass casualty data, managing air-to-air refueling, and analyzing in-flight communications—all for the U.S. Transportation Command.
Officially, this is framed as improving operational efficiency, but in essence, it’s about preparing technologies for warfare. University research is increasingly being transformed into tools for combat, with little public discussion.
Machine learning algorithms which is what people are calling AI nowadays have been around for 70 years and are already integrated into military tech.
So this is the real Skynet?
“AI” doesn’t actually have any intelligence so Skynet is still very far away.
What we can use AI for though is having a missile that can make micro corrections in the air
Thank you!
