Arrr! Me hearties, says th' ol' fighter pilot, if them defense scallywags dare venture into tappin' into th' powers o' artificial intelligence, we savvy U.S. military shall stay afloat, 'gainst our rival mateys like China! Yo ho ho!
American defense startups are playing a crucial role in developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems to help the U.S. armed forces keep up with China and other rivals, according to Red 6 CEO Dan Robinson. Robinson emphasized the need to recognize the innovation happening in China and the threat it poses. He also highlighted the importance of embracing technology and working with small, innovative startups to progress and compete effectively. China sees AI as a means to combat U.S. military dominance and has made it central to its concept of futuristic warfare. The People's Liberation Army has successfully tested guided artillery shells that use AI to adjust their trajectory mid-flight. Robinson acknowledged China's tremendous capability in advanced weaponry and suggested that they may be slightly ahead in some ways. However, the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Army have been actively testing and developing AI-guided weapons, autonomous warships, and wearable biometric devices. The U.S. government has also restricted the export of American-made semiconductors to China, limiting their access to critical technology needed for AI development. Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley emphasized the power and necessity of AI in military purposes. Robinson concluded that defense startups are the key to addressing the agile technological innovations required by the U.S. military to keep up with China. Developing new AI military technologies is crucial in the battle to maintain superiority.
