A unified military approach to artificial intelligence

The author suggests a unified military approach to the development of AI (artificial intelligence) systems and the resolution of AI-related issues by using one or more information-sharing techniques. Coordination within the military can result in several advantages, such as reducing duplication of effort, making research results easily available to help further other research efforts, providing a forum for discussion and resolution of issues, reducing duplication of costly mistakes, sharing resolutions of AI system security breaches, and providing a framework for a more formal standardization entity when one is needed. To realize these advantages, several techniques including relying on private industry resources, forming panels for discussion, publishing a newsletter devoted to AI systems and issues, establishing an online database of AI systems information, and creating a multicommand committee are proposed. Criteria are developed with which to evaluate and compare the techniques
