The use of autonomy and artificial intelligence will play an increasingly vital role in military operations in such places as the Middle East, where U.S. forces no longer have a sizeable military presence, an Army general said.
Lt. Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps, testified at a Senate Armed Services Committee nomination hearing today, considering his promotion to general and assignment to be commander, U.S. Central Command.
The XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has been a leader in the adoption of AI, he said.

The command has taken an approach to its adoption, that includes building a cultural mindset, data literacy, data governance and infrastructure that includes cloud computing, he said.
Also, the corps uses AI in quarterly exercises for target detection. Those exercises include personnel from all six of the military services, he said.
