JACK MAVEN AND THE "MAJOR"....THEN ALONG CAME FLUFFY

The island happened to be marking WWF’s Earth Hour during our stay, and as part of the celebrations we were able to experience a delicious beach barbeque with a wide selection of fish, meat and handmade desserts accompanied by local live music. Something tells me they don’t need much excuse to wheel out the Weber here, though. Even civilian algorithms require continual tweaking, because the world keeps changing. And many military algorithms have to deal with an adversary who’s actively trying to deceive them. The cycle of countermeasure and counter-countermeasures is as old as warfare, but the rise of machine learning has spawned a whole science of adversarial AI to deceive the algorithms. Though a little skepticism remains, in the most recent conversation with DefenseScoop, he also explicitly pointed out that he feels “more optimistic than ever” about this point in Maven’s transition, because he has heard that new NGA director Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth has made Maven “his priority project.”

I don’t pretend to have the energy that I had when I was 35, and I don’t pretend to understand music that is not — like rap and pop today…I can’t produce it…I don’t want to or try — but I know what’s good and I’m happy to have young producers do it. So, I know what I can do, and I love doing it.” These are questions the Pentagon is exploring. An October report from the Defense Innovation Board laid out a series of principles for how the military might ethically adopt AI. Shanahan wants to hire an ethicist to join the JAIC, and he is at pains to emphasize that he is tuned into the ethical debates around military AI. He says he remains fundamentally opposed to what would be popularly thought of as “killer robots” and what he calls “an unsupervised independent self-targeting system making life-or-death decisions.” From the ocean-view villas (with an ocean view actually built into the floor) to the underwater spa, Huvafen Fushi uses the waters as its inspiration. But the chair shot. It stung more than it hurt. But honestly, I was on top of the world just knowing because after I did the chair shot, I think Taker goes and he throws the camera guy down and they stayed on that shot. Normally they’ll change shot, but they stayed on that on purpose. He had to get the gig out to give me color. And he came over. And he told me great job, kid. And at that point, I just knew my night was all I had to do was sell and then get thrown into a popcorn machine.” Operations Center Cognitive Assistant: This project aims to streamline the flow of information through the force. It will start with using natural-language processing to sort through radio chatter, turning troops’ urgent verbal calls for airstrikes and artillery support into target data in seconds instead of minutes.It’s less a question of standards and more of policies and governance,” he told me. “We now have to think about data as a strategic asset in its own right. Now, a much better approach to drive interoperability is to start with a discussion of metadata standards that are as lightweight as possible, as well as a Modular Open Systems Architecture. Or put another way, we need to agree on the definition of ‘AI Ready’ when it comes to our weapon systems.” Modular contracts reduce the risk of legal challenges like that which sunk JEDI and add competition that improves value for the Pentagon, McGinn says. The stories that are best known today were collected and set down by enthusiasts like the Brothers Grimm, ETA Hoffman and Hans Christian Andersen. In so doing, they codified tales that had always been in flux, passing from teller to teller, acquiring and losing details as in a game of telephone. But once they existed in written form, they became texts that scholars could parse, and for Freud and Jung, they were as productive as the goose that lay the golden eggs. Bushcraft Courses, Bushcraft Qualifications, Ancestral Skills, Foraging & Woodland Craft Courses in Kent And that’s about all I can say, because I’m not day-to-day tied in, in terms of classified sources — but I know it’s being used and being used effectively. So, I think they’ve sort of pushed the envelope almost as far as they can go by Maven itself,” Shanahan said. “Now it’s time to get this to the entire Department of Defense and the entire intelligence community.”

Layers of AI and machine learning continue to be built on Maven. But to Shanahan, some of its early uses were part of “the beginning” of human-machine teaming for military missions. Google says that it is no longer “developing custom AI/ML solutions to facilitate upstream extraction” for the oil and gas industry, but it is not clear if it provides custom solutions to midstream and downstream companies, or whether it provides non-custom solutions for upstream extraction. There are also Maldivian cooking classes on offer, which are educational and fascinating. The demonstrations showcase not only the ingredients and cooking methods of traditional local dishes, but the history behind them too.CDAO is responsible for continuing development on the non-GEOINT lines of effort until such time as they are ready to transition to follow-on mission partners,” which will be fully moved over by fiscal 2025, statements from the press officials said. They also noted that “ongoing work post-transitioned will be overseen by [I&S,]” and that “details of that oversight function are still being established.” Autonomous Ground Reconnaissance & Surveillance: This involves adding Maven-style analysis algorithms to more kinds of scout drones and even ground robots, so the software can call humans’ attention to potential threats and targets without someone having to watch every frame of video. There’s no simple silver bullet solution, Shanahan said. Some suggest rigorously imposing some kind of top-down standard for formatting and handling data, but he argues the Defense Department has too many standards already, and they are inconsistently applied. CRYSTAL CITY: “Some people say data is the new oil. I don’t like that,” the Defense Department’s AI director told me in his office here. “I treat it as mineral ore: There’s a lot of crap. You have to filter out the impurities from the raw material to get the gold nuggets.”
