The US Army Research Laboratory has reported a breakthrough in two neural network projects. The first one is designed to create smart uniforms - such clothes will be able, for example, to assess the state of their carrier and transmit data. The second project is designed to facilitate the interaction of commanders with artificial intelligence.
A programmable fiber capable of storing and analyzing information has been developed in the laboratory of military technologies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The "smart" thread can be used to sew uniforms and then monitor the health of military personnel.
- If the soldier does not respond, we can get in touch with these wearable computers. Thus, the soldier's uniform is connected with the central command or the base on the battlefield, " C4ISRNET quotes the words of the program head of the laboratory, James Burgess. - We can find out the pulse of a soldier, whether he is breathing, whether there are injuries.
Also, the uniform will be able to warn soldiers about dehydration, overheating and other dangerous processes.
Another development evaluates the level of uncertainty in the AI's conclusions.
- The idea is to quantify the uncertainty in data analysis using neural networks. So that commanders could realize that AI is not perfect, they used it ethically and were more confident in the decisions they made, " said military scientist Maggie Wigness,
