Deep Dive: AI Is Reshaping Military Decisions on the Battlefield
A new study published in the Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management Science proposes an AI-driven military decision support system designed to automate the classification of battlefield imagery and reduce the lag between data collection and actionable intelligence. The researchers behind the article, titled “AI-Driven Military Decision Support System Using Deep Learning and Tactical
IBM and Dallara to Advance AI and Quantum-Powered Design for High-Performance Vehicles
Insider Brief IBM and Dallara are collaborating to use AI and explore quantum computing to accelerate aerodynamic vehicle design and simulation workflows. Early results show AI models can replicate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses in about 10 seconds versus hours, identifying optimal designs with similar accuracy. The partnership aims to expand AI-driven modeling and assess
From Black Box to Watchtower: Governing AI in the Age of Conflict
When a militarized dispute can escalate within hours, the tools we use to anticipate cannot afford to be opaque. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already shaping how governments assess threats, monitor flashpoints and weigh the costs of intervention. Yet the systems doing this work often operate as black boxes, producing probabilities without explanation and conclusions without
