Attorneys in the Machine: Capabilities and Legality of AI in National Security

Our guest this week is Chris Dailey, a NavyCon presenter! Chris brings a wealth of knowledge about AI and teams up with Tom and Eric to give us a fascinating overview of what AI really is, how it works, what it’s used for, and what the legality of AI on the battlefield is. Check out his NavyCon presentation here: https://youtu.be/oPN9bEwJgQU Also in this episode, Eric reveals the ground truth, Tom lays down the LAWS, Chris explains why he went from waves to widgets, and Ian lives up to expectations… Thanks to Chris for a whole host of links exploring AI concepts! As he says, “it's never been easier to get into transformative tech. Unlike radar or nuclear or electricity or internal combustion, with ML you don't need heavy/dangerous/expensive equipment to learn and operate it--all the knowledge and tools are available for free online!” Q learning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__t2XRxXGxI Imagenet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40riCqvRoMs Neural Networks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk AlphaGo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgowR4pq3e8 GPT-2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ypnLjwpzK8 Early fire control: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwf5mAlI7Ug AEGIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tJjjgFiDiA Check out the organization Tom mentioned here: https://www.stopkillerrobots.org/ Check out our Discord at discord.gg/6xg2sApfGJ The Joint Geeks on this episode are: Eric Muirhead (@StarfleetHIST), Ian Boley (@IBBoley), Tom Harper (@thomasLharper), and our guest is Chris Dailey (@dails08).
