21st Century Herodotus: Developing Future Artificial Intelligence Leaders Today

From cyber warfare to drone swarms and ubiquitous sensors, artificial intelligence and its subset of machine learning are predicted to become key components in many of the warfighting technologies of the future often touted as the U.S. military’s Third Offset Strategy. However, near-peer competitors are also pursuing military artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to gain a comparative warfighting advantage. Engagements with such competitors would likely pit U.S. military artificial intelligence against adversary artificial intelligence technologies, resulting in a contest between machines for an advantage. Modern and future competition therefore, introduces an element of dependence on outcomes of inscrutable algorithms reliant on cloud-level computing for potentially determining the fate of the force. Not surprisingly, these advanced military technologies are shaping up to provide nothing short of a Homeric epic for future militaries.
