The U.S. Air Force is increasingly interested in the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance various aspects of warfighting. This project seeks instead to understand the limits of AI for warfighting applications.
This is the first report in a five-volume series addressing how artificial intelligence (AI) could be employed to assist warfighters in four distinct areas: cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, wargames, and mission planning. These areas were chosen to reflect the wide variety of potential uses and to highlight different kinds of limits to AI application. Each use case is presented in a separate volume.
