El US Army Research Laboratory lanz\u00f3 una propuesta al sistema de I&D, para el desarrollo de tecnolog\u00edas relacionadas con Inteligencia Artificial, espec\u00edficamente las denominadas \u201cHuman-Machine Teaming\u201d. Las mismas ser\u00e1n destinadas a integrar elementos de combate, que permitan que los soldados y los sistemas aut\u00f3nomos, interact\u00faen con el entorno de combate y el enemigo.<\/p>\n
The future of warfare\u2014and most other <\/strong>human endeavors\u2014will include the integration of human agency and decision-making prowess with artificial intelligence. At present, interactions between humans and AI<\/span> tools are not always intuitive, but the Army wants to change\u00a0that.<\/p>\n The Army Research Laboratory issued\u00a0a presolicitation notice<\/a>\u00a0Monday for a Human-Agent Teaming Research and Engineering Services contract to study how soldiers interact with AI<\/span> and improve the training regimen for humans and\u00a0machines.<\/p>\n The Army plans to award the contract to DCS<\/span> Corporation but released a request for information to hear from other potential vendors capable of delivering on this\u00a0contract.<\/p>\n Technologies like artificial intelligence \u201cwill eventually reduce the number of soldiers in harm\u2019s way, however, they will not simply replace soldiers one-for-one,\u201d the RFI<\/span>\u00a0states.<\/p>\n AI<\/span> will augment humans on the battlefield with greater capacity to store and analyze data; access areas humans can\u2019t; react at speeds humans can\u2019t; and be deployed in greater\u00a0numbers.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, AI<\/span> technologies will also introduce limitations and will not have the same set of capabilities that our soldiers have\u2014e.g., adaptability, flexibility, common sense and other traits\u2014necessary to always complete the mission,\u201d according to\u00a0the performance work statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n Success in future operations will require soldiers to interact with multiple, advanced technologies at once. In turn, those technologies can help larger numbers of soldiers and teams coordinate their\u00a0actions.<\/p>\n \u201cMore specifically, the tasks described here will support fundamental research in support of the Army\u2019s goal to develop and field systems requiring soldiers to team with AI<\/span> technologies by facilitating the exchange of information between the soldier, system, and environment,\u201d officials wrote. \u201cDevelopment of AI<\/span> technologies to support teams of soldiers and autonomy will change the way that team members, both human and autonomous, interact with the environment, the enemy, and with each other. AI<\/span> technologies will be able to learn, not only how to interact with individuals and teams, but how to collaboratively make decisions and solve problems as part of teams, maximizing the strengths and minimizing the weaknesses of individual team members\u2014human or\u00a0autonomous.\u201d<\/p>\n The Army Research Lab wants to study these interactions from both sides, and is establishing this contract to get technical and engineering support in developing training simulations and integrating those into existing\u00a0regimens.<\/p>\n The performance work statement goes into detail on specific deliverables, including developing new test and evaluation methods for measuring the effectiveness of human-AI<\/span> teams and integrating those with the Army\u2019s Next Generation Combat Vehicle program. The program will also iterate on existing methods and develop new ways of mapping soldiers\u2019 brain functions, psychology and behavior when interacting with AI<\/span>\u00a0teammates.<\/p>\n The ultimate contract will be indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity, off which Army programs will be able to issue task\u00a0orders.<\/p>\n
