El ej\u00e9rcito alem\u00e1n est\u00e1 trabajando para acelerar la toma de decisiones en tiempos de guerra mediante herramientas de inteligencia artificial capaces de analizar datos del campo de batalla con mayor rapidez que los humanos, tomando como referencia las experiencias de las fuerzas ucranianas y de otros pa\u00edses.<\/p>\n
BERLIN \u2014 The German army is working to accelerate wartime decision-making through artificial intelligence tools capable of analyzing battlefield data more rapidly than humans, drawing lessons from Ukrainian and other forces, its commander told Reuters.<\/p>\n
Lt. Gen. Christian Freuding<\/a>, who became army chief last October after years of overseeing Germany\u2019s arms supplies to Kyiv, shared his insights from visits to Ukrainian command posts where drones and modern sensors have drastically increased the volume of battlefield data.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ukrainians exploit data which they have collected over four years of war. Based on this data, the AI can deduce how the enemy has acted in similar situations in the past – and recommend countermeasures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He noted that tasks now requiring hundreds of personnel and days to complete could be sped up significantly through AI, adding that conventional methods alone would never be enough to \u201cbreak the adversary\u2019s decision-making cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n Freuding suggested utilizing data from Ukraine and from German military exercises when training analytical tools, ensuring alignment with Germany\u2019s operational principles.<\/p>\n Addressing ethical concerns, he emphasized that AI would serve only as an advisory tool to facilitate human decision-making.<\/p>\n \u201cThe task of taking analytical and balanced decisions will always remain with the human, with the soldier,\u201d he said, adding that while a specific AI product is yet to be selected, the technology\u2019s deployment is a priority.<\/p>\n Freuding underscored the importance of aligning Germany\u2019s AI systems with NATO\u2019s evolving standards. He did not rule out a European-developed system, but said American solutions might offer practical advantages due to their advanced deployment.<\/p>\n \u201cPersonally, I think it\u2019s important that we get something up and running quickly. Of course, issues like data sovereignty and security need to be taken into account,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The U.S. Army is fielding\u00a0the AI tool Maven<\/a>, made by the Silicon Valley company Palantir, to process battlefield data, including imagery and video, to improve situational awareness and speed up decision-making.<\/p>\n
