Army Researchers Create Conversational AI to Improve Soldier-Robot Communications

Talking is our most essential form of communication. It is useful in day to day operations but it becomes even more critical in high-pressure situations such as those encountered by the army personnel. In light of this, army researchers have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) that is capable of carrying on a conversation. Yes! It's a military AI that can speak. The researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, in collaboration with the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies, have called their new AI the Joint Understanding and Dialogue Interface, or JUDI for short.
