DARPA's '3rd Wave' AI Aims to Compute Uncertainty Along with Accuracy
"Machine learning algorithms do not currently fit well into the modern statistical processing paradigm."

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
DARPA is launching a program to improve algorithmic processing in Pentagon artificial intelligence projects.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is formally soliciting contracts for its new AI Exploration program. The AIE will focus on what DARPA defines as its “third wave” of artificial intelligence research, which includes AI theory and application research that examines limitations with rule and statistical learning theories belying AI technologies.
“The pace of discovery in AI science and technology is accelerating worldwide,” the program announcement says. “AIE will enable DARPA to fund pioneering AI research to discover new areas where R&D programs awarded through this new approach may be able to advance the state of the art.”
The AIE’s goal is to invest in “high-risk, high-reward” artificial intelligence topics that will ideally lead to quick prototype development. Technologies fostered within the AIE will primarily be related to the Defense Department's national security initiatives.
