The U.S. Department of Defense has defined multiple goals for implementing and training AI for resilience to attacks and processing data, as it anticipates a battle between AI and counter-AI.
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) released a statement on Jan. 25, outlining the beginning of its use of artificial intelligence (AI), predicting a battle between AI and counter-AI.
The statement followed a speech from Jude R. Sunderbruch, the DOD Cyber Crime Center executive director, at the Google Defense Forum. Essentially, this “battle” with “counter-AI” refers to identifying and blocking manipulation attempts of AI systems while creating AI systems that are resilient to such attacks.
Sunderbruch said this “battle” will raise major questions about what the “truth” is. He also said he wouldn’t call it an “arms race” but rather a “strategic competition.”
