The Army Is Working on Brain Hacks to Help Soldiers Deal With Information Overload
The Army hopes that technology can solve the info-overload problem that technology has created, and free up people to do what people do best.
With drones and tiny sensors spreading across the planet, the US Army is worried that there's simply too much information for soldiers to process.
So the ground-combat branch wants to hack troops' brains, and develop new technologies and methods for pairing human beings and artificial intelligence. The idea is for the AI—"intelligent agent" is the term the Army uses—to process raw information, leaving the human soldier to do what they're best at: make decisions, especially creative ones.
