The United States uses AI to identify the Middle East air strike target

(Tanpa Bloomberg) US defense officials revealed that the United States has used artificial intelligence to identify air strike targets in the Middle East this month, showing that more and more US military uses artificial intelligence technology for combat.

Moore, chief technology officer of the United States Central Command in the Middle East, said in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg that Machine Learning Algorithm, which can independently recognize objects, has significantly improved the combat efficiency of the U.S. military, allowing the U.S. military to be inOn February 2nd, more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria were air strikes.

Moore said: "The U.S. military has been using computer vision to identify places where there may be threats. In the past 60 to 90 days, we have more opportunities to target the goal."

She added that the United States is currently looking for a large number of rocket launchers from hostile forces in the Middle East.

The U.S. military has previously admitted to collect information with computer visual algorithms, but this is the first time that the U.S. military has confirmed that they use this technology to combat enemy goals on a large scale.

According to the Pentagon, the U.S. military used more than 125 precise ammunition in the air strikes in February to attack many facilities in Iraq and Syria.This is a retaliation operation that the Bayeng government has attacked the US military base in the northeast of Jordan and killed three U.S. military.

Moore disclosed that the artificial intelligence system also assisted the U.S. military to identify the Rocket launcher and the surface ships of the Red Sea.

It is understood that this artificial intelligence identification algorithm is developed by the Maven project launched by the Pentagon in 2017. This project aims to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in the US Department of Defense.

Moore revealed that the US military in the Middle East has tested computer vision recognition capabilities in the exercise in the past year, and only after the outbreak of the Harbin conflict in October last year, it was used for actual combat.

However, Moore emphasized that artificial intelligence is only used to find potential goals, and the final identification and attack plan is still determined by people.
