Josh Sullivan, the US Deputy Secretary of State, consulted with technology consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, confirming to The Washington Post that artificial intelligence systems will be able to perform basic surveillance, recognize objects and perform everyday activities while still performing higher-level tasks.
“This helps ensure that the government has access to the most advanced technology and is accountable for using that advanced technology to serve our citizens and our soldiers,” said Deputy Secretary Sullivan.
The AI system could also help military doctors speed up the identification of advanced cancer cells and find new approaches to treating brain injuries, he added.
Artificial intelligence has become an indispensable technology in military warfare and national security around the world. In fact, China is developing an AI-powered submarine, expected to be deployed in the early 2020s, while Russia is also actively investing in research on drones and robotics technology.
