Pentagon Uses AI to Identify Airstrike Targets, Carries Out Over 85 Strikes
- The Pentagon has used computer vision algorithms to identify targets for airstrikes in the Middle East, carrying out over 85 strikes recently
- The strikes were part of a response to a January drone attack in Jordan that killed 3 US service members
- The algorithms were developed as part of Project Maven, a program to increase DoD's use of automation
- Israel has also used AI software, called "The Gospel," to recommend targeting data to human analysts
- Historically the US has made mistakes in identifying bombing targets, so AI could reduce human error
