The birth of the AI supersoldier

The US Army is using AI to try and give soldiers super-learning capabilities. The experimental system would allow American troops to analyse new information far faster than they can at the moment. Initial tests have found U.S. Soldiers can learn 13 times faster than conventional methods using the system. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory project is designed to'help Soldiers decipher hints of information faster and more quickly deploy solutions, such as recognizing threats like a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, or potential danger zones from aerial war zone images.' It uses a combination of computers and AI software to analyse information on the battlefield.
