People Will Remain Key Decision-Makers
Wednesday, August 15, 2018
Technology will continue to advance and provide new ways to help leaders make decisions, but 30 years from now it will still be the mutual trust and confidence between humans that will ensure responsible command, said Maj. Gen. John S. Kem, commandant of the U.S. Army War College.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are enabling technologies that are going to help soldiers in the decision-making process, he said, “but inevitably, even at the speed of many things, the decision still has a civil-military component which is what are we doing and why. What are we asked to do overseas, and what are the moral and ethical implications of all that?†Kem said in remarks at Learning 2050, a panel discussion during the recent Mad Scientist conference hosted by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
