AI IN THE ARMY

šŸ›ļøThe Pentagon Says AI Models Speed Up the ā€œKill Chainā€

AI firms such as Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic are providing AI models to the American military to speed up the Kill Chain without directly killing anyone.

Key Details:
  • Kill Chain refers to the process of tracking, identifying, assessing, and responding to threats.

  • ā€œWeā€™re always finding ways to speed up the execution of Kill Chain so our commanders can respond quickly to protect our soldiers,ā€ said the Pentagonā€™s Chief Digital and AI Officer, Dr. Radha Plumb.

  • For example, AI models are being used to track terrorist financing networks and analyze aircraft maintenance documents to accurately diagnose and speed up repair times.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Meta initially had policies prohibiting the use of ā€œAI software for military, warfare, and nuclear industries.ā€ So, what suddenly changed?

  • Reports of Chinese military experts using Metaā€™s Llama 2 for ā€œthe training of airborne electronic warfare interference strategiesā€ made Meta believe itā€™s in ā€œthe democratic worldā€™s best interest for American open-source AI models to succeed.ā€

šŸ”¬OpenAI Extends the Human Lifespan by 10 Years?

OpenAI recently trained a new AI model called GPT-4b micro thatā€™s designed to extend the human lifespan by up to 10 years.

Key Details:
  • GPT-4b micro engineers proteins with a focus on the Yamanaka Factors: a set of four genes that reprogram adult cells back into Stem Cells.

  • As we age, our bodies become less efficient at repairing damaged tissues. Stem Cells can fix these damaged tissues by turning into the specific cells needed to repair them.

  • For instance, Stem Cells can become nerve cells, muscle cells, or blood cells to improve the skin, heart, and brain.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman invested over $180 million into Retro Biosciences (ā€œRetro Bioā€), the company that helped create GPT-4b micro.

  • Over $3 trillion, or roughly 90% of healthcare spending, goes toward age-related diseases in America. AI models can help accelerate scientific discoveries that fight against aging.

AI RESEARCH

šŸ”ŠAI Communicates With Sounds Like Humans Do

Whether youā€™re describing the rumbling sounds of a distant thunderstorm or the constant barking from your neighborā€™s dog, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to recall an event or convey an opinion when words donā€™t do the trick.

Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) developed an AI system that produces human-like imitations of sounds.

Hereā€™s a simplified breakdown of how it works:

  1. Human Vocal Tract Framework (HVTF): Simulates how a humanā€™s lips, throat, and tongue shape vibrations to produce different sounds.

  2. Cognitively-Inspired AI Algorithm: Controls the HVTF to help the AI system replicate how humans create various imitations of sounds.

  3. Human-Like Imitations: The AI system is given snippets of an ambulance siren or a snake hissing and generates human-like imitations of those snippets.

Essentially, the AI system learns to ā€œthinkā€ like a human voice. In the future, this AI system could help people with speech impairments or enhance communication across different cultures with diverse linguistic styles.
