According to a list published recently by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which audits federal agencies and programs, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is currently involved with more than 685 artificial intelligence (AI) projects. Some of these projects include major weapon systems such as the MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. For purposes of combat, the DoD is focused on AI abilities that assist in target recognition, battlefield analysis and autonomy on unmanned systems. One example of AI for autonomous systems is the U.S. Navy's Undersea Warfare Decision Support System, which is designed to help plan and execute undersea missions. Generally, AI will help machines perform tasks such as drawing conclusions and making predictions in place of human thinking.
