David Icke Pentagon Signs $885 Million Artificial Intelligence Contract with Booz Allen

'The U.S. Department of Defense will for the first time be using large-scale artificial intelligence systems that could automate mundane tasks and augment the work of military members as a result of an $885 million five-year contract, said Josh Sullivan, senior vice president at government consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. The technology will allow the Defense Department to better compete with nations including China and Russia, said Mr. Sullivan, who leads the analytics business for Booz Allen. "Part of this is (about) making sure our government has the access to the best technology and using it responsibly in service of our citizens and warfighters," he said. The use of AI systems such as neural networks that mimic the human brain could help the Defense Department sift through the "overwhelming" amount of data related to such areas as national security and health care. In turn, soldiers and military members can be freed up to identify threats on the battlefield sooner, spend more time with military patients and work on problems that require higher-level contextual reasoning, Mr. Sullivan said.
