Soldier’s Trust Required for Autonomous Systems
Friday, November 30, 2018
Army systems using artificial intelligence will require battlefield security to prevent information from being altered or blocked, says the U.S. Army Research Laboratory director, who specializes in sensors and electronic devices.
Speaking at the Army Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence Symposium and Exposition in Detroit, Philip Perconti cautioned that data can be hacked, and signals and information in the field can be altered. If that happens, soldiers will lose trust in the systems and turn them off.
His remarks came at the conference hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army’s Institute of Land Warfare about the growing embrace of robots, autonomous systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The two-day conference at the Cobo Center ended Nov. 29.
