美国国防部(DoD)已启动多项努力,以加速开发和部署包含人工智能和机器学习(AI/ML)的作战能力(国防部指令3000.09,2017)。例如,国防部长建立了联合人工智能中心(在首席信息官的领导下),作为国防部AI/ML卓越中心,每个军种都建立了人工智能(AI)工作队或跨职能团队。国防部领导层将部署AI/ML能力视为高度优先事项。AI/ML能力的开发和部署需要操作员和工程师的合作。战争游戏和桌面演习是让这两个社区参与进来的方法,以增强他们对AI/ML技术的理解,增强他们的能力,以及在采用AI/ML技术时固有的考虑因素。战争游戏和桌面练习还可以帮助操作员和工程师制定可实现的需求和工程规范。
the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has initiated several efforts to accelerate development and fielding of warfighting capabilities incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) (Department of Defense Directive 3000.09, 2017). For example, the Secretary of Defense established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (under the Chief Information Officer) as a DoD-wide center of excellence for AI/ML, and each of the services has established an artificial intelligence (AI) Task Force or Cross-Functional Team. DoD’s leadership views fielding AI/ML capabilities as a high priority. The development and fielding of AI/ML capabilities requires the cooperation of operators and engineers. Wargames and tabletop exercises are ways to engage these two communities to enhance their understanding of AI/ML technologies, the capabilities they enable, and the considerations inherent in their adoption. Wargames and tabletop exercises also help operators and engineers develop realizable requirements and engineering specifications.
