Artificial intelligence has become a key driver of innovation and technological advancement on and off the battlefield. The U.S. Air Force, in particular, has recently focused on adopting and integrating AI across multiple domains. Below are just a few of the Air Force's major AI initiatives:
Generation AI Chatbot
The Air Force is adopting large-scale language models like ChatGPT and making the technology available to service members. Nyploga generative AI chatbot that can assist Air Force personnel with specific tasks.
AI-equipped fighter jets
In May, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall flew in an F-16 fighter jet. Equipped with an autonomous agent The X-62A VISTA (Variable In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft), built by Shield AI, was tested at Edwards Air Force Base in a within-visual-range aerial combat scenario known as a dogfight.
Driving Decision Superiority for the USAF: Practical Use Cases of AI/ML
How will the U.S. Air Force, and more broadly the Department of Defense, move artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities from theory to practice? A panel discussion at the Potomac Officers Club 2024 Air Defense Summit We'll answer this and other timely questions about AI. Other topics that may be covered include:
- How AI is transforming mission-critical collaboration and security to drive decision-making advantage
- How to responsibly test and run AI-enabled workflows
- Examples of real-world AI/ML applications in military environments
- Participants will share how they have implemented AI-enabled capabilities to enhance collaboration and improve operational efficiency and measurable impact on data protection.
