Project Maven (eBook, ePUB)

A Marine Colonel, His Team, and the Dawn of AI Warfare

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The dramatic story of the secretive decadelong Pentagon campaign to bring AIpowered targeting systems onto the battlefield.

In 2017, a small crew gathered in a windowless Pentagon room to put AI at the heart of how America makes war. Led by a Marine Corps colonel haunted by the deaths of US troops and prospect of AIenhanced rivals, the Project Maven team raced to send AI into combat, igniting controversy and forever changing the US military. Summoning the mayhem of a tech startup, the group wrestled Pentagon bureaucrats and each other, enlisted an initially reluctant Silicon Valley, and convinced US forces to deploy littletested AI systems in hot wars. Maven fielded algorithms to identify targets at speed and scale, developed AIinfused command systems, and learned where AI fails. Today, its lessons are folded into developing autonomous technology set to be on the frontlines of future war. Based on more than 200 interviews with Project Maven insiders and opponents, this compelling narrative explains how AI warfare, once the stuff of apocalyptic science fiction, has become a reality.
